Version: 3.0.12+dfsg-5~bpo8+1
Severity: wishlist
User: ***@infomaniak.com
Usertag: infomaniak.com-packaging

Dear Maintainer,

We needed freeradius 3.X on jessie at work, therefore we backported it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
freeradius (3.0.12+dfsg-5~bpo8+1) jessie-backports; urgency=medium

* Rebuild for jessie-backports.
* Revert freeradius-dbg package removal
- control: revert removal of freeradius-dbg package
- rules: revert dh_strip options to dh_strip -a --dbg-package
* control: revert debhelper version dependency to (>=9)
* rules: remove --fail-missing option from dh_install

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

All the modifications have been made to a Git checkout of the official
Debian repositories, with signed commits and tags. And I can provide
read-only access to such repositories, if someone would like to
integrate the modifications.

Thank you, bye,
Maxime Lareo

Please do.

I was waiting to test this backports in production before share you my
work, and its been running for more than a week now, without any troubles.

So here is the promised link to the git repository :
https://gitlab-ext.infomaniak.com/debpkg-public/freeradius.git

Thank you, bye

Thanks for providing the repository. Two things I noticed:

1. It looks like you didn’t use git-revert for reverting the commits, or at
least you didn’t retain the original commit id. Doing so would make it a
little more clear what happened, and hence would make future updates easier.

2. It seems like you wrote your debian/changelog entry by hand. Do you know
about the https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/devscripts/dch.1.en.html tool?

Now, both of the above items are nitpicks, of course :). Overall, the git
branch looks fine.

Would you want to maintain this backport? You could become a Debian
Maintainer (DM), see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer. The process
should be fairly quick and easy. Then, we could grant you permission to
maintain this package in backports.

I’m asking because I have all hands full with the non-backports freeradius
maintenance already. So, unless someone steps up and commits to the
additional maintenance effort, I’m afraid I don’t have the capacity to move
this along.

Thanks!
