I've seen the upload is waiting in NEW so far. One additinal question, is it possible that you can provide a dsc file or even some pre-compiled new packages else there? That would help us to also work on a new kopanocore upload in the between time. Regards Carsten

Let me know. Kopano is a little bit unclear here what version is needed as the source of kopanocore hasn't a version check inside the configure script. I've contacted upstream and asking them for doing a better check into the configure stuff. The build error that is visible to me is pointing to a older report on SF. Jan Engelhardt is working for Kopano. http://sf.net/p/gsoap2/bugs/1075/ In the report upstream is talking about that would be fixed in 2.8.37 (not .36 as I wrote). So from a current knowing I would say at least 2.8.37 is needed. I know that parts of the guys on Kopano are interacting with GSoap very often so it's possible they using or have requesting new features already. Anyway, I fully agree with you we are in the hard freeze now so nobody shouldn't do extra work. We / I can live with the statement from you a new gsoap package would be to much work with little gain and we wait until Stretch is gone released. So let this report open until there is time and effort for prepapring of a new gsoap package. Thanks for taking care! Regards Carsten

I agree that it is time to do an update soon, but there is a freeze at the moment, so the update would not migrate to testing anytime soon, and by the time it does it might be time to update again. Updates that bring soname bumps are discouraged during freezes. The current version in testing and unstable is 2.8.35-4. The difference between 2.8.35 and 2.8.36 is not big. If you disregard the places in the code where the version number is encoded it is only one line of code that is changed. That line is already backported to the current version in Debian: https://sources.debian.net/src/gsoap/2.8.35-4/debian/patches/gsoap-backport.patch/ So if the reason you require 2.8.36 is that change then gsoap >= 2.8.35-2 should be sufficient.

Source: gsoap Severity: wishlist Dear Mattias, could you please consider to package the actual gsoap version and provide the packages in experimental? We are trying to prepare a new kopanocore package and this is needing at least a gsoap version > 2.8.36. So I would like to use a recent gsoap for this.
