Yes, unless the sid version already moved on. Versions in testing cannot be higher than those of unstable, so this must be this way. > What version numbers are usually used?

Or is it normal to use NMU version > numbers even for maintainer uploads to testing-proposed-updates? You never run out of maintainer version numbers, since can you always add parts. Suppose you're currentlat at -3, then you can of course still upload -4, -5 etc to sid, which is the common way. If you want a sarge backport of fixes to sid, use -3sarge1. If it's a Non-Maintainer backport, use -3.sarge1. With this method, one dot in maintainer revision means NMU (with the before-dot part being the latest MU), zero dots means MU, a property nice to have. Unfortunately, -3sarge1 sorts before -3.1, so if you want as maintainer to backport a NMU to sarge, you're out of luck for straightforward solutions. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl

ITA: mpg321
Hi, this night I made some small bugfixes to the mpg321 code and send it to Joe Drew, the upstream author and Debian maintainer of mpg321. Looking at the BTS and the changelogs I came to the thought, that development on the mpg321 code and package has been dead (except the 2 NMUs of course) for about a year. Today I sent mail to Joe Drew to ask if I'm correct and if I could adopt the authorship (and maintainership) of mpg321. I didn't wait for a reply and made a package (basically for me) which is a merge of 0.2.10.3 (NMU with security fixes) and 0.3.0 (the latest CVS) including some small fixes ;) Please have a look at: http://noxa.de/~sbeyer/debian/packages/?main,src,mpg321 Because I'm not a DD, I hope somebody will sponsor it... perhaps Joe Drew himself :) I hope I don't look like a hijacker and I hope I'm not that monkey with a tin tool because I didn't wait for a reply :) well... regards, Stephan Beyer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes, I corresponded with him about a month ago.

It *is* rude :) It's just... in my overzealousness I thought that Joe would definitely give me a O.k. ;) Strange optimism (or pessimism, because it seems that it's still a lot of work to let mpg321 be a really good, free replacement to mpg123... nevertheless Joe Drew did a *great* job) I uploaded the package to the server so that I can use such a mpg321 version (with some really small fixes of bugs that really annoyed me) on every machine. Then I thought, once uploaded, I could also make it public.

I think *I* would get angry, especially if it is a project which caused that much time.

ITA: mpg321
Hi, this night I made some small bugfixes to the mpg321 code and send it to Joe Drew, the upstream author and Debian maintainer of mpg321. Looking at the BTS and the changelogs I came to the thought, that development on the mpg321 code and package has been dead (except the 2 NMUs of course) for about a year. Today I sent mail to Joe Drew to ask if I'm correct and if I could adopt the authorship (and maintainership) of mpg321. I didn't wait for a reply and made a package (basically for me) which is a merge of 0.2.10.3 (NMU with security fixes) and 0.3.0 (the latest CVS) including some small fixes ;) Please have a look at: http://noxa.de/~sbeyer/debian/packages/?main,src,mpg321 Because I'm not a DD, I hope somebody will sponsor it... perhaps Joe Drew himself :) I hope I don't look like a hijacker and I hope I'm not that monkey with a tin tool because I didn't wait for a reply :) well... regards, Stephan Beyer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes, I corresponded with him about a month ago. When I asked if he considered his package to be actively maintained, he said "not really". > Today I sent mail to Joe Drew to ask if I'm correct and if I could adopt > the authorship (and maintainership) of mpg321.

I have a patch in BTS to fix crashes with invalid input; I'll let you know if your version passes my test:) Thanks, Justin signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I will sponsor in Stephan's NMUs and patches to mpg321, but am currently unwilling to give up maintainership of it. I do agree that not waiting for at least a week can be considered rude and is certainly overeager.

It *is* rude :) It's just... in my overzealousness I thought that Joe would definitely give me a O.k. ;) Strange optimism (or pessimism, because it seems that it's still a lot of work to let mpg321 be a really good, free replacement to mpg123... nevertheless Joe Drew did a *great* job) I uploaded the package to the server so that I can use such a mpg321 version (with some really small fixes of bugs that really annoyed me) on every machine. Then I thought, once uploaded, I could also make it public.

You'll me, because I re-indented the code which can be found in the .tar.gz. :) (I thought that was useful because there was a scary indentation-style mix...) > I do agree that not waiting for at least a week can be considered rude > and is certainly overeager.

I think *I* would get angry, especially if it is a project which caused that much time. But my personized overeager also told me to make a fork (which doesn't use libmad0, because it seems a bit mad), but that's more rude than asking for adoption ;) regards, sbeyer signature.asc Description: Digital signature
