Hi!
Can I offer co-maintainership? I already put a some work in packaging
(not yet released 0.8) and made some improvements.
E.g. switched the buildsystem to cmake, instead of scons, added debug
packages, split out the docs from the -dev into a -docs package.
Adapted alle copyright / control infos to the current upstream version.
So I think there is a lot I can contribute.
About the ABI breaks: It breaks all rdepends, isn't that a problem? This
would also change the packagename to libjsoncpp1 instead of libjsoncpp0.
Which means that all rdepends have to change their dependencies?
Greetings
Peter
