Personally I am not a frequent user of *awk at all and for packaging there are also more work to do before uploading a new version. Any help would be welcome, including becoming a co-maintainer. (I think I will file a RFH bug later.) -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang

This is a pseudo-essential package that has seen no single upload since 2012, and no major activity on its bug reports either. CCing other people that have showed interest in the past. Thanks, Guillem

The kind of trust that would allow one to upload someone else’s work without looking at it takes a long time to build, and frankly I would be quite worried if you had that trust after such a short time. This should be obvious, but I guess I should be explicit just to be clear. I still would be happy if an updated package could go to experimental at some point. I know you don’t want to upload random garbage (so even this request _is_ asking for some of your time), but there are at least some people who run things from experimental, especially if they need an experimental feature, and I would like to get feedback from them.

For what it’s worth, I interpreted the comment a bit differently: I took it to mean he could not blindly trust my changes and would need to find time to look them over. Though I could have misunderstood. The part about correctness of any of the changes was in reference to the original comment about having vetted the changes yourself. Since Steve's not responded to any of my fixes, and this has gone on since September 2008, perhaps some additional help is needed to review things. -- Thomas E.

Bug#554167: New mawk upstream version
Hi vorlon, Building a Linux kernel requires an awk with some features v1.3.3 does not have, so I put together an updated mawk package to use for this purpose. Maybe it could be of some use: - http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/mawk.git - git.debian.org:git/collab-maint/mawk.git The upstream tarball comes from ftp://invisible-island.net/mawk/. Also, would you be interested in patches to modernize mawk’s packaging? I would not mind switching to using dh, adding a watch file, and running autotools at build time, but if you have other plans, that is fine as well. Thoughts?
