Package: fping Version: 5.1-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I recently tried to use fping's relatively new `--fast-reachable` feature (introduced in fping 5.2) on Debian and noticed that the package is at its upstream release 5.1 still on sid. Upstream is at 5.3 and has implemented a number of interesting improvements, which is why it'd be really great to have it included in Debian, too. Relevant changelogs: - 5.2: https://github.com/schweikert/fping/releases/tag/v5.2 - 5.3: https://github.com/schweikert/fping/releases/tag/v5.3 (I would have very much liked to created a MR for you on salsa, but I was not able to figure out the workflow you use to sync new upstream sources into a commit there... if you (briefly :)) outline how to do it, I'd be glad to try preparing a suitable merge request.) -- Package-specific info: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52240 Feb 7 2022 /usr/bin/fping lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Feb 7 2022 /usr/bin/fping6 -> fping -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.10 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-34-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fping depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u10 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.66-4 ii netbase 6.4 fping recommends no packages. fping suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
