Okay, no problem. I am going to create a fix for 1.8.6~rc2-1. > You shouldn’t need any change for that version.

I > can also check your package for unstable if you don’t already have a mentor. The "unstable" package has already a sponsor, thanks! But my packaging of rsplib (https://mentors.debian.net/package/rsplib/) is looking for a sponsor since 2009 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516750), if you are interested. The rsplib package is already in Ubuntu since a long time, but there has been no Debian sponsor found so far. -- Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Med vennlig hilsen ======================================================================= Thomas Dreibholz SimulaMet -- Simula Metropolitan Centre for Digital Engineering Centre for Resilient Networks and Applications Pilestredet 52 0167 Oslo, Norway ----------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: dre...@simula.no Homepage: http://simula.no/people/dreibh =======================================================================
