Kay's message has not made it to the list, so I'm forwarding our conversation about Vc. Kay says that we are the maintainers -- are we? If so, I think we should update.

Thank you for noticing. I tend not to subscribe to lists for just one post, that's why I posted without subscribing. There's also no indication on http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/vc-dev That kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com (package maintainer) is a closed list, so I just gave it a shot... With regards Kay F. Jahnke ******************************************************************** bounced message for reference: Hi group! I use Vc and I'd like to release software relying on it, but I don't want to require users to download and build from source, so I'd like to see a recent version of vc-dev in the package sources, but the package in the package sources is (very) out of date. A recent version of the sources is available from https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc I have tried the suggested ways of dealing with my problem and asked a question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vc/+question/404456 To no avail... I know ubuntu is not a rolling release etc... I also eventually found a bug report concerning the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vc/+bug/1629881 I added my bit of text, right after the release of 16.10 where I'd vainly hoped to see a recent version of Vc appearing. Next thing I see is http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/vc-dev which suggests to me that 17.04 is set to use the same old version. So I now try to contact this list (it's listed as the maintainer), since I feel I've done what I can and I don't know what else to do. I don't want to merely complain, if there is anything I can do to help sort this out, I'd like to know, and I'd like something to happen before 17.04 comes out. With regards Kay F.
