[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#792632: ofono: please consider packaging the latest ofono version

[Johannes Schauer]

Source: ofono
Version: 1.15-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

ofono version 1.15 in Debian is now already 13 months old and version
1.16 month has been released by upstream 7 months ago. Could you
consider packaging it?

I'm not familiar with your packaging style but (ignoring the git part) I
had no problem applying your 1.15 packaging onto the 1.16 version of
upstream. All patches apply. Only
forward-port-udev-rules-generation.patch had to be refreshed due to some
changed offsets.

I'm currently testing the resulting package together with a backported
patch from ofono git to support the Ericsson N5321 gw modem that I
personally use but I do not see any obvious problems so far.

Could you please upload the most recent upstream version of ofono to
Debian?

I hope there is still interest in your team to maintain this package?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
