Hi, I'm sorry I didn't reply to your earlier mail, I was not CC'd on it and not subscribed to the bug. I've just subscribed to the bug so I will get further replies without the need for the CC.

I think that László should have a read of my earlier messages on this bug and if there is a disagreement about any of the conclusions I made, it would be good to hear the reasons! That said, I think that working on adding the dependencies is still worth it. As I identified in my message, there are some places where I was going to note the embedded code copy, until a proper package has been made, so making those proper packages would be the right way forwards. > One comment on the source of the 1.6 package: although it may be easy to > create, I don't like to repeat work that already has been done. ;) Because of the ongoing effort upstream to merge bigcouch, and my requirements for the bigcouch functionality, I decided to wait on this package until that merge has completed and then move on packaging that newer version. It seems like that merge is about to complete, and I am going to look at packaging a newer version, perhaps from git, so I will look back on this issue to try and make some progress with it in the near future. I have the 1.6.0 package work I've done locally, I wasn't sure where to push it to, as I didn't see a repostiory that is being used for couchdb in debian. I can make a collab-maint repository if László agrees and maybe we can collaborate with others who are interested in working on the package? micah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
