Hi Joachim, As other have suggested, I personally would open a bug report and link to any Merge Request (MR). If this has no joy for a time then follow the Intent To Salvage (ITS) process. I hope your success with the RFS was going through Debian Mentors. If anyone gets stuck with contribution, I would encourage people to email the Debian Mentors mailing list and we can see if we can assist. Oh, there is a new upstream version of vzlogger - hint - hint. ;-) -- Regards Phil Donate: https://buymeacoffee.com/kathenasorg -- "I play the game for the game’s own sake" Arthur Conan Doyle - The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans -- Internet Relay Chat (IRC): kathenas Website: https://kathenas.org Instagram: https://instagram.com/kathenasorg Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kathenasorg --
