Package: needrestart Version: 3.7-3.1 Severity: wishlist Hi Patrick!
So a major security issue came out in needrestart, as you undoubetly know! :) We've been maintaining a couple patches over needrestart 3.7 at torproject.org (mainly for prometheus monitoring) and we need to reroll them on top of the new security issues. I'm wondering if I should work on top of the unstable NMU from the security team or somehow figure out how to package 3.8 directly. Were you planning on updating to 3.8 soon? I am aware this *just* came out, so no pressure! :) Just trying to organise our work here... I don't think I know whether this package is maintained in Git or *how* it's maintained exactly: I've always done what were essentially upstream-less patches to the package, without ever importing a new upstream tarball.. Either way, I'd be happy to help, as before, on the maintenance of this package. Point me in the right direction! :) In this case, I need to figure out if I patch the current unstable version (3.7-3.1), or try to upload a 3.8 (as a NMU?) or what. Thanks!
