I have subscribed to debian-science as well.

I have uploaded 5.5.2-2 to mentors (and updated my git repository) enabling all hardening flags. I also realised that the new polyc shell script requires gcc and libffi-dev to produce standalone executables, so I have added those as dependencies for polyml.

Should I push my changes to debian-science/packages/polyml.git (especially since that’s the repository in debian/control)? Also, going forwards, if I want to get a new version uploaded, do I need to file a new RFS “bug” against sponsorship-requests, or should I instead just email debian-science asking for a team upload (subject to a review of the package)?

James
