Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package smstools
[ Reason ]
Some telco in Australia switched some bits needed for their registration
of SMS only modems. smstools needs to follow and be able to process
the new statuses.
[ Impact ]
smstools no longer works with certain telcos.
[ Tests ]
The patch was created by a customer of said telco and smstools works
again.
[ Risks ]
Only additional statuses are processed, so others should not be affected.
[ Checklist ]
[x] almost all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
(the additional salsa-ci.yml was added some time before to the git repo
but should not do any harm)
