Dear maintainer, a customer of mine wanted to run plantuml for their software, but the version currently in stable (and, in fact, also in unstable), namely version 1:1.2020.2+ds-1 yields "No diagram found" on their data. Now, I've tried injecting version 1.2022.0, and that worked like a charm, so I suppose there have been a fix somewhere in the middle, that I haven't tried to track down. Having said that, could you please consider updating the package to their latest version, and possibly backport it to bullseye-backports? TIA.
diagrams. If I take the "seasons" example of: @startuml concise "Season" as S '30 days is scaled to 50 pixels scale 2592000 as 50 pixels @2000/11/01 S is "Winter" @2001/02/01 S is "Spring" @2001/05/01 S is "Summer" @2001/08/01 S is "Fall" @enduml from https://plantuml.com/timing-diagram, and run it through plantuml I get a diagram without labels on the x-axis. .Henrik
Dear Maintainer, Current version in Debian is close to be 4 years outdated and it seems that updating it will fix some CVE bugs.
Hi, You’re welcome to help packaging a newer upstream version or backporting the fixes :)
Hi How to i help you for packaging a newer upstream version ?
The latest upstream version now is v1.2024.5.
I use plantuml for work, I'll help on this package. Andrei, could you push your latest modification to salsa ? All the best
Any tips on how external people who are not maintainers can contribute? Maybe join the Gitlab instance Salsa, contribute to the Git repo there via merge requests and then ask the maintainer to upload. Is that possible?
Hi, Absolutely, by all means, please contribute!
Hi Andrej, did you see this MR on Salsa [1] that updates to 2024.4? Cheers, Stephan [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/plantuml/-/merge_requests/4
Dear Maintainer, I have noticed that the mentionned PR has been stalling for months: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/plantuml/-/merge_requests/4#note_582015 Would it help to consider team mainenance (join #debian-java) and check with latest upstream version ? Anyone in?
Hello, The focus right now needs to be on porting fixes for the security issues: * https://bugs.debian.org/1039999 * https://bugs.debian.org/1040000 I tried dealing with those but haven’t produced anything usable, unfortunately.
I notice there is a merge request on salsa for the 2026 edition. While testing it I became unsure if pristine-tar is intended to be used with plantuml on salsa or not. There is no debian/gbp.conf enforcing its use, but there is a branch only refering to a very old edition of plantuml. Andrej, can you clearify what your preferences are regarding pristine-tar? I would like a newer version of plantuml to get portin/portout support in component drawings. With so many people interested in a newer version in Debian, perhaps it can happen in time for Focal. As the git repo is in the debian/ group on salsa, I assume you welcome any Debian developer applying patches and uploading.
We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
plantuml, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.
A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
