What exactly is the problem with the upstream netpbm? I see that Fedora 14
hasnetpbm-10.47.17, surely the license and security "problems" from 2007 are
nothere today anymore.
Is this package abandoned? I see no updates for more than 3 years.
Aremaintainers too attached to the idea of a Debian fork? If so, then please
backport theupdates from upstream.
Please don't ruin the fate of a software package simply because you are
notmotivated or have ideological issues. Having an outdated version in Debian
andUbuntu makes netpbm unreliable for the *entire* FOSS ecosystem, as
otherdevelopers can't safely depend on netpbm in *their* packages or scripts!
