Please consider tagging a new release soon
sten0 opened this issue · comments
Happy New Year @mhayashi1120!
In Debian (and derivatives such as Ubuntu), we have Wgrep 3.0.0, released ~2023-02-03, and I'd like to our users to be able to benefit from the year of work that has gone into the current state of Wgrep. We strongly prefer to only import tagged releases, so would you please consider tagging a new release soon?
Kind regards,
Nicholas
P.S. MELPA Stable users will also benefit from a tagged release

Even with tagged releases I see there is many packages outdated on my
LinuxMint box which depends of Unbuntu, for my concern Helm is one of
those, it is at 3.8.0-1 (don't know what is 0-1) whereas we are now at
3.9.7! Don't know if it is because LinuxMint makes its own packages,
but I doubt, I think they use Unbuntu packages for emacs stuff.
While you are at it, if you could upgrade Helm and others in addition of
Wgrep, that would be nice.
Thanks.

Agreed, that's old, and a normal priority bug (use `reportbug` in Debian).
Isn't it 3.9.6 though? Meanwhile, repology.org/project/emacs-helm/versions
indicates 3.8.4 is the newest available version, and someone should
investigate why (upstream bug? Repology bug?)

Yes, your assessment and deduction is correct; Debian has 3.8.4-1, from
last spring, and this should have been a recent (minus a few months months
the freeze) version when Debian 12 was released. The trailing "-x" is the
Debian revision; all packages with an upstream have at least some
Debian-specific integration and packaging work done, so x will be >=1. >>2
indicates additional work was needed or was beneficial in some way.
While you are at it, if you could upgrade Helm and others in addition of
Wgrep, that would be nice.
The Emacsen Team needs someone who regularly uses Helm, and I'm currently
using my volunteer hours to mentor new contributors--in addition to trying
to find time to take care of the packages that I'm responsible for (ie:
Ivy).
Thanks.
You're welcome, and I would like to invite you to join the team to help
take care of Helm-related packages!
Kind regards,
Nicholas

Probably because I forget to push tag :-(, thanks for this, it's done
now. On NonGnu it is anyway at 3.9.7, should make its way on Melpa soon
now I have pushed.

I don't know how to join the team, but don't hesitate to ask me on
Github or on my Mail directly if you want help for something or to fix
something in Helm etc..
Thanks.

You're welcome, and much obliged!

The time and care of a Helm user is needed. If you don't have time, maybe
it would be worthwhile to use Helm's issue tracker to send interested users
here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam
As well as at the following (TLDR, Helm has no maintainer in Debian and
will not be updated until a volunteer is found):
https://bugs.debian.org/1007859
The future maintainer can of course use something other than
"git-debrebase". Also, because the packaged has been orphaned, team
membership is optional (though recommended)
Regards,
Nicholas
