[Pkg-electronics-devel] libjaylink / openocd uploads

[Ruben Undheim]

Hi Jonathan,

I apologize if it felt like being stepped on the foot. I have been
trying to shuffle multiple balls at the same time here, and I noticed
my J-link debugger didn't work with the newer version of openocd I
needed and happily found in experimental (Thanks a lot!). Then
assuming you probably use another debugger and not the J-link debugger
(since you had uploaded openocd without it), I uploaded it to
"experimental" (as being member of the team) - saving you from that
work.

Sounds great!

I agree this was a blunder - and I should have made a separate branch.

The last upstream release of openocd is 3.5 years ago, and there have
been quite some development since. To me this means that this is a
package where we should maybe consider uploading known-to-be-stable
GIT heads also to sid. Any views on that? (Probably you already have
some plans since you started uploading to experimental..)

Best regards,
Ruben
