Hi Adam, Gianfranco,
thanks for looking into this. Apologies for not including the maintainer
in the original mail, it wasn't intentional. Deferring the packet is
probably a wise move to give the maintainer an opportunity to step in (I
consider that unlikely, to be honest), should you consider going ahead
with the review.
Should I re-upload this package with a high deferred number or can this
be done from mentors?
BTW all of the diff, except for ~100 lines is about autotools
autogenerated stuff :)
Yes, the actual diff in the source code is much smaller than the 400
kloc. Unfortunately this release tar ball contains a lot of
autogenerated stuff, in addition to full a archive of the previous
release. I considered removing some files in a patch, but that would
have increased the total change rather than reducing it.
As far as I can see the changes in the source code since the last
package are listed below. The latter two bugs were previously patched in
the Debian package; these patches are now incorporated upstream, hence I
could drop them from the Debian package.
bug #49557: XHTMLDoctype.h fails to include MStreamable.h
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49557
bug #49120: cgicc should not call exit()
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49120
bug #48677: Generated index.html is empty
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?48677
bug #46426: Pkg-config file does not provide flags for include path or
the library itself

Thanks,
