>my gut feeling is that Debian would appreciate helping hands: Thanks for finding those links. I wasn't aware someone had picked it up.
From what I can see, the new 2.x packages are currently waiting in Debian's NEW queue (https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html). Once they are accepted there, I assume they will be synced to the next Ubuntu development release. I've added a bug watch for the corresponding Debian report to package the new versions, which should notify once the packages are accepted and uploaded. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #991528 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991528 ** Also affects: maliit-framework (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991528 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946538 Title: Update to Maliit 2.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maliit-framework/+bug/1946538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
