That's IMHO way too harsh given that the package is uptodate with the current upstream release despite being orphaned and the issue is easily fixable. > > Unless I missed something, upstream fixed this issue in [1] > > After applying this commit, I was able to build cdist in a sid > > chroot environment. > > > [1] https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/commit/b974969f28f4 > > Well, that's not the upstream repo listed in debian/copyright, so if someone > wants to fix this bug perhaps they also want to fix the upstream pointer. Ack, https://github.com/telmich/cdist redirects to https://github.com/ungleich/cdist, but last commit there is from November 2021 and there's no note that it's no more updated. Funnily https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/#contributing refers to https://github.com/ungleich/cdist/pulls I'll take upstream into Cc so they're aware of these upstream infrastructure issues misleading users into thinking that upstream's development has stalled. I might also do a QA upload fixing these issues. No promises though, as I'm a bit out of time these days.
