   Bug#1127851: libodb-sqlite: New upstream   
   14 Feb 26 07:20:01   
   
   From: tille@debian.org   
      
   Hi László,   
      
   thanks for your detailed explanation — I was not aware of the structural   
   and build system changes upstream.   
      
   Just to clarify: I’m not specifically concentrating on your packages,   
   nor do I use odb myself. The bug reports were the result of a rather   
   broad scan for packages with long-standing upstream updates and missing   
   Salsa repositories. It just happened to affect some of your packages.   
      
   My initial goal was mainly to migrate packages that are not yet on Salsa   
   to a place where team maintenance and contributions by other DDs become   
   easier. Given the technical complexity you outlined (repository   
   restructuring, build2 toolchain, unified source tree, etc.), I need to   
   reconsider the scope of my involvement regarding the upstream upgrade.   
      
   What I could imagine doing in any case is:   
    * migrating the current packaging to Salsa in its present state,   
    * documenting the upstream changes and the build2 transition in a   
      README.source, so that any interested contributor has the relevant   
      information readily available.   
      
   The actual upgrade to 2.5, including potential packaging of build2 and   
   restructuring of the source packages, would need proper planning and   
   commitment.   
      
   Thanks again for outlining the situation.   
      
   Kind regards   
      Andreas.
