However, this Bazaar repository doesn’t have any versions newer than
4.2+dfsg-1.
In the absence of a public Vcs that tracks debian packaging for bash,
i've gone ahead and generated one that i'd feel comfortable contributing
to with:
gbp import-dscs --debsnaps bash
I also pushed the resulting repository to salsa at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bash so hopefully other people will take
a look at it and consider working with it from there.
While working on a Debian derivative I found myself wanting to refer to
the versioning history of bash, so I've continued Daniel's work by
importing all versions known to snapshot.debian.org between Debian 10
and now. If there are no more bash uploads before Debian 13 (which seems
reasonably likely now that we have passed the toolchain freeze), then this
will cover the Debian 11, 12 and 13 stable releases.
I've tried to preserve the branching history for things like NMUs and
experimental, so versions debian/5.2+dfsg-0.1 and
debian/5.2.15-2+loong64 are only available as tags and do not exist on
any branch (they were not merged as-is by the maintainer, so they are
"dead ends" in the packaging history). Similarly, the debian/trixie and
debian/master branches diverge after 5.2.32-1, to reflect
testing/unstable and experimental having diverged after that point.
Similar to what Daniel said, this continues to be unofficial. It is
hopefully useful to someone other than me, and can be used for reference
or as a basis for sending patches, but the maintainer's (private?)
revision history takes precedence, unless the maintainer decides to
adopt the git repo as official.
Thanks,
