[Debian-med-packaging] Could someone please clarify release status of MUMmer? (Re: Additional info: can not see update note: MUMmer)

[Ben Tris]

Hello,

I don't understand that search string, can't make up what exactly was
searched on.

On the first ten results only this explicitly mentions v4:

https://academic.oup.com/gigascience/article/9/2/giaa009/5734639

extra link:

https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/mummer4/README.html



Nice Day,
