From my standpoint, the main problem with the current state of things is that the "normal" upgrade path from 1.6 to 2.0 does not work. Neither can one install both versions in parallel. That is because both branches use configuration file with the same /path/name, but syntax is different. This fact makes upgrade in a large system a precarious process. This could be mitigated by either changing the config file path in the 2.x packages, or by providing automatic conversion in postinstall (the latter being difficult and dangerous, so better stick with the former). > I'm not sure how the process works exactly in terms of backports, but > maybe it makes sense to provide the bird2 package via stretch-backports > as well? That is, if Buster is considered stable. Stretch backport would be very very welcome! Thanks, Eugene
