With a small team and a narrow focus on main, we all just make sure that all the packages in main work together and stay up to date. That said, I'm keenly interested in seeing libdbi flourish, as it seems like there are a number of cool packages making use of it that sit inside my own sphere of interest. I would be more than thrilled to take on maintenance of libdbi in Debian, as I'd like to go down the path toward DD status. As far as my reasons for wanting v0.8.3, I haven't reported this bug yet, because I haven't tried it on Debian specifically (installing a base squeeze vm right now to do just that), but there is actually a problem with using rrdtool 1.4 and libdbi 0.8.2, that causes an abort. Its most likely due to the age of 0.8.2 and the fact that the rrdtool authors developed and tested using 0.8.3. > Thanks again for the patch, it's really appreciated, > Your time and attention to the package are also quite appreciated.
