Hi,

let me file this as a report in the BTS.

if you are short on time, I can also offer to NMU these changes.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Hi,

Quoting Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues (2026-07-26 02:00:47)

since there was no response on neither the salsa MRs nor on this bug report,
I'm uploading a NMU with the changes from MR32 with maximum delay of 15 days.
I included the changes from MR31 and will update packaging git if you do not
cancel the upload.

A debdiff is attached for your convenience.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Sorry for the lack of answer. These have been very busy weeks...  I
haven't been the most active contributor to ifconfig lately, but please
feel free to upload directly (remove the delay).

Thanks!

Hi Santiago,

Quoting Santiago Ruano Rincón (2026-08-14 16:29:40)

don't worry! Life is busy for all of us. :) I'm happy to not have created more
workload for you. I cancelled the NMU and did a fresh upload to unstable with a
small change in debian/changelog, mentioning that you ACK-ed the change.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
