Package: foo2zjs Version: 20090908dfsg-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: squeeze upstream
Hi dear foo2zjs maintainers, While going through the list of potential packages for the Debian Printing Group [0], I noticed that your foo2zjs is heavily outdated in terms of upstream version and sync with Ubuntu. So I would like to suggest you (and I have no intention to walk on your toes, huh) to update foo2zjs to a more recent upstream release for Squeeze. One reason for this is that Ubuntu already has one stable release with 20100210 and their developement release is at 20100728. I had the opportunity to work with the actual foo2zjs Ubuntu maintainer (Till Kamppeter, who happens to be the foomatic-* upstream developer) and he has been very constructive and very open to cross-distro collaboration (+ he is skilled), so you might want to approach him with a collaboration request. Anyway, this is just a "please update to more recent upstream" and a "why not joining the Printing Team" mail. Cheers, OdyX P.S. I am very aware that Squeeze is frozen, but I don't see an update of foo2zjs as risky.
