Hi Benjamin, Thomas started work on preparing the update, so I wondered how we should proceed: - git repo on salsa? debian/ namespace? - I'd start with `gbp import-dscs` to get the old version into the git repo, the packaging doesn't seem to require too many changes for the new upstream version - any prefered branch layout? standard gbp okay? I can also take care of the upload after testing reverse-dependencies, if you want. Fabian
