I updated the packaging to fio-3.15 which should contain the patches you submitted to upstream. Please provide a merge request for the Debian specific changes that are needed to enable cross-building. In case you need to make Debian specific changes to the upstream source code, please make sure your patch contains Author: and Descripton: lines. Please document your changes in the changelog under your name. Please also test cross building before submitting your merge request. The package uses git-buildpackage so please use 'gbp clone' to clone the repository and branch from 'master' branch to generate your merge request, which should contain only changes in 'debian' directory. > [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fio Thanks, Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards Martin Steigerwald • Proact Deutschland GmbH Trainer Telefon: +49 911 30999 0 • Fax: +49 911 30999 99 Südwestpark 43 • 90449 Nürnberg • Germany martin.steigerw...@proact.de • www.proact.de Amtsgericht Nürnberg • HRB 18320 Geschäftsführer: Oliver Kügow • Richard Müller • Jakob Høholdt • Peter Mikael Javestad – Delivering Business Agility –
