Hey Guys,

I've seen, you made some progress recently on the phpmyadmin-package on salsa. 
I've cloned the repository for myself, merged the work from your personal forks 
and made another update to 4.8.5 
(https://salsa.debian.org/blaimi-guest/phpmyadmin).

The package seem to work as in "works on my machine" on my local 
buster-installation with the packaged dependencies from the phpmyadmin-team on 
salsa and tcpdf from sid (with a little fix 
https://salsa.debian.org/phpmyadmin-team/shapefile/merge_requests/1)

I'm familiar with building packages in source-format but not that familiar with 
the overhead of quilt-format. My phpmyadmin-skills are also very limited and 
concentrate on using its basic features like manipulating table-contents and 
im-/export. Coincidentally I know how to work with shapefiles but I have no 
idea how they are used in phpmyadmin.

Does phpmyadmin have any test plans for integration and/or acceptance-tests to 
check if its features are still working with the package installation? (I don't 
care how long processing of this would take, we have trainees :p ) I also do 
not (yet) know what twig is used for and how to test it.(I've read some thing 
about formatting columns with currency-values?) BTW: twig is upgraded in master 
on upstream. Besides the composer.json only some twig-cache-generator is 
touches which does not exist in 4.8 
(https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/1c097a90eb8430a0445886b1849935e0e3e603bf)

So, what I request is some help in the "political" stuff around the 
debian-packaging, i.e. about the todos on getting phpmyadmin available in sid 
(and hopefully in buster-backports as soon as it is available), as well as help 
in testing the package. I should be able to fix stuff in the package as long as 
I know about its defects.

Is there any way to keep track of the progress in a collaborative way better 
than sending emails? I'd propose working with issues on salsa.


Best greetings from Karlsruhe and many thanks for the work you all have already 
done
Matthias
