[pkg-squid-devel] Whats next for Squid in Buster?

[Amos Jeffries]

Hi guys,

  Time for buster. (Yay!)


Item A)

So, as far as I am aware from back when jesse happened we are now 
waiting on someone to branch master and upstream/sid at the point where 
squid-3.5.23-6 happened to branches the security team can work with for 
the stretch packaging.

  Who does that? can it please be taken care of ASAP :-)


Item B)

During freeze we also briefly discussed some shuffling of the 
repositories and source package names around.

1) repository 'squid' rename to 'squid2'

2) repository squid3 rename to 'squid'

3) source package name squid3 rename to squid.


Do we actually have agreement on doing it that way?
  if not, what alternative(s) should happen?
  and who does the change when agreed?


Item C)

The Squid-4 package I have been assembling for upload to experimental.

Upstream I have reached the situation where there are only 3 bugs 
blocking the stabilization process, and two of those have fixes already 
in the pipeline. So I tentatively estimate, maybe, just perhapse, about 
2 months before Squid-4 achieves the criteria for a 'stable' release.

Is anyone interested enough to sponsor an upload to experimental?
  or shall I wait on the 4.1 release, and re-target it directly at sid?



Cheers
Amos
