Is the linuxcnc community prepared to support the linuxcnc edition
currently in Debian Bullseye for 3-4 years? In other words, willing and
able to fix any security issues or other fatal problems with the package
in a timely maner?
I willing to put some effort into this.
The current version of LinuxCNC in Debian is a pre-release
("2.9.0~pre1..."). Many new fixes have gone in to our 2.9 branch since
that upstream tarball was made, and undoubtedly more patches will come
over the 3-4 years that Bookworm will be active.
What is Debian's policy for how we are to fix problems with our package
in the Debian stable release, specifically: when is it ok to update the
upstream tarball to a newer 2.9 snapshot vs when must we backport
specific bugfix commits and place them in debian/patches?
