client/server connections over UDP
Control: tags -1 -moreinfo

Hi Simon,

Following up on your review — apologies for the slow turnaround. All
points addressed, and this one has a reason beyond housekeeping to
refresh: a security fix.

- New upstream release 1.4.3. netcode 1.4.0 fixed AEAD nonce reuse when a
  server is restarted in-process (the global packet sequence was seeded
  only on create, so a restarted server re-encrypted global packets at
  already-used sequence numbers under the same key; netcode uses the
  packet sequence as the AEAD nonce). No CVE — the GitHub advisory is
  GHSA-3x95-24j9-7448. The version your review looked at, 1.3.5, predates
  the fix, so the refreshed upload is the one that should reach the
  archive.
- Vcs-* now points at salsa, live and current:
  https://salsa.debian.org/gafferongames/netcode
- ${misc:Depends} dropped (debhelper-compat 14).
- watch file is version=5. One W-severity lintian tag remains on the two
  repacked packages (debian-watch-not-mangling-version) — the watch file
  does carry an explicit dversionmangle stripping +ds, so I believe the
  tag is spurious here, but I mention it so it does not surprise you.
- Beyond the build/link test, the package now has a functional autopkgtest
  exercising address parsing and connect-token generation — deliberately
  nothing that binds a port. Verified by injecting defects; it failed on
  both.
- The mentors upload is refreshed to netcode/1.4.3+ds-1.

Thanks again — ready for another look.

Glenn
