Package: roger-router
Version: 2.4.90
Severity: grave
Issue description
- Package has not been updated to the current functional version (neither 2.4.2
nor 2.4.90) in stable bookworm.
- Package is not available in testing trixie.
- Package is blocked since two years now by a single dependency issue in
unstable sid
- Debian source Package has not been updated from the developers sources from
2.4.2 to 2.4.90 in src and sid, see
https://gitlab.com/tabos/rogerrouter/-/commit/1746021c72c143ced58e20d89e25b203d370fb0d
a year ago.
All this renders this package completely unusable in debian.
It is not an option to flatpak install, since this small 40 MiB program blows
up to more than 5 GiB when flatpak installing. That's ridiculous.
Please make sure to have the issues with the dependencies in debian finally
resolved and also add a backport of the recent 2.4.90 version to stable
bookworm.
Since I'm not a programmer, I can't build the program from its sources on my
own, like probably most users can't.
Additional info: Even when it is possible to manually alien install the old
2.2.1 bullseye oldstable-package from the debian repos on bookworm still, this
version fails to work with current router firmware and transmission protokols
like T.38 which have been updated in 2.4.90 merely.
So there is no way around a proper debian package. There does not exist any
adequate alternative software for the very purpose on Linux (while on Windows
you have the option to use the router manufacturers software instead)
System information:
Pure debian stable bookworm install, 64 bit, from
debian-12.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso, system fully apt-upgraded.
