[...] Hello, I have spent a little bit of effort on packaging 2.4.0. I have pushed this to salsa (sans tags) into 3 temporary branches that could be fast-forwarded: tmp-ametzler-pristine-tar --ff-> pristine-tar tmp-ametzler-upstream --ff-> upstream tmp-ametzler-v2.4 --ff-> debian/experimental (Merge request does not really seem to make sense for something that requires updating 3 branches at the same time.) However there are some open questions: * The Debian package features some non-trivial patches that need to be doublechecked. The gpg-agent-idling patches were already disabled by Christoph in the 2.3.1-1 upload. * Policy. There seems to be dissens between gnupg and the IETF openpgp workgroup. (See https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2022-December/035183.html ff) I do not understand the whole thing well enough to judge the benefits of gnupg's approach, however dissens is evident from reading the thread. I amn not sure whether I could make sense for Debian to wait for thing to play out. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
