Bug#968384: mdbtools: Consider switching to active fork

2020-09-02 Thread Jean-Michel Vourgère
Evan Miller just got write access to the original repository [1] that Debian is 
following.
There now is a redirection from https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools to 
https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools on the Microsoft side.
He's planning to merge everything there [2] soon.
Debian urls should be updated.

Dear Maintainer,

As reported by Even Rouault in GDAL PR#2856 [0]:

"
 I see in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mdbtools/-/blob/master/debian/watch,
 Debian follows https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools whose last commit was in
 2017 whereas @nyalldawson suggests to follow
 https://github.com/evanmiller/mdbtools which has lately received a lot of
 fixes from what I can see
"

You can use the attached watch file to use the fork.
