[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1000967: spdlog: Please package (and test) new version v1.9.x

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I'm not an Uploader of this package but I belong to the maintainer
team and gave it a *quick* look (due to limited time).

I pushed some preliminary packaging to Git but unfortunately the build
failed.  I've found some

  /build/spdlog-1.9.2+ds/tests/test_file_logging.cpp:94:21: error: no matching function for call to 'spdlog::logger::info(const char [16], int&)'

in the build log and gave up here.  I'd welcome any patch to get it build /
NMU to experimental is fine as well.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
