Current bird via bookworm-backports?

[Jakub Ružička]

Hi Daniel,

That's correct.

I maintain BIRD 2 packages in Debian unstable/testing and stable, and 
also our pkg.labs.nic.cz/bird2/ repos

I could also maintain -backports and Ubuntu package and various other 
forks but I don't really have cycles to do all that, so I leave that on 
the community which is free to backport / reuse Debian packages as 
needed. An extra advantage of that is that if I get hit by a bus, it 
should be easier to replace me as there will be others familiar with 
bird packaging - the show must go on :)

So if you want, please do upload / maintain bird2 in -backports, I'm 
sure some users (especially those with restrictions on third-party 
repos) will find that useful.


Cheers,
Jakub
