Hi Pierre,
sorry for violating netiquette but we have an open culture in Debian Med
team and private discussion should only happen for really private
things. So I'm quoting you in public on the Debian Med mailing list and
would be really happy if you would answer there.

Actually that bug was pretty easy by setting a simple -I option in
Makefile. I admit I wonder why that has build before at all. Seems
upstream has found a different fix since my patch did not created any
conflict when importing and building the new upstream version.

I admit for *every* package in the Debian Med team I love to be only
sponsor instead of doing most of the work. So every reader is kindly
invited to pick packages, fix bugs, write tests - whatever. I'm by
no means proud upon having my name inside the majority of packages as
Uploader. So in this case: Yes, you are kindly invited to join me
in maintaining sumaclust - and may be also sumatra and sumalibs (just
uploaded to new).
For the actual 1.0.35 upload I simply used the very quick solution and
fired up routine-update[1] and just uploaded the result which took me
less than a minute work. So its not that I really want to do this but
that *currently* I considered it way more straightforward than asking
you to do it. If you would volunteer to work on this I'd be really
happy if you
1. Would create a salsa.d.o login
2. Join the Debian Med team
3. Read Debian Med team policy[2] in case you might not be
comfortable with usual workflows in team similar to
4. Add yourself as Uploader to all packages you would
volunteer to package
5. Review my work! (Well, I have some routine but it might
be wrong. May be there is a better fix in sumaclust than
tweaking the Makefile in a quilt patch.)
6. Review sumalibs packaging - we could definitely use also
a dynamic library since we should avoid code duplication
in sumaclust and sumatra
7. Enjoy beeing member of the Debian Med team
Thanks again for your attempt to help
Andreas.
