Shigio and I are currently discussing changes to the CGI mechanism which may alter several things about how this is currently arranged. I'm planning to push a new package out once we get that resolved and know for sure which direction we'll push things in from here. > # But, you need to rebuild index files as file format has changed. > > Since current debian package is based on 5.7.1, it seems it's > time to upgrade. Yes, it is. > As upgrade request to 5.8.1 is still left open, The big difference between that report and this one of yours is that this one actually includes a reason why we should look at updating the package soon. Reports of 'new upstream version' aren't really very useful when they don't contain any information at all about what bugs that version may fix or what desirable new features it may bring. The current one we have has proven fairly stable, and nobody before you has noticed anything we are missing from the newer ones, so the urgency for updating it, at risk of introducing new bugs, has remained relatively low. > I can take over as package maintainer if you don't mind. Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really looking at giving this one up entirely at this stage. Help is always welcome though, so if you do have a long term interest in this and time to spend on it, then I'd be silly not to encourage that one way or another :) For now though, the most pressing issue is to sort out how the system CGI handling should work for the next release. If you have ideas on that, maybe we should pull you in to that discussion ... Cheers, Ron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
