Package: whysynth
Version: 20090403-1.2
Tag: patch

Dear Debian Maintainers,

Please note that there is a new upstream version from 2012. I've been 
building (.deb with pbuilder) and playing it on a debian-jessie system, 
and it works great.

 From my home-package, I found those things :

1) we can add "libcairo2-dev" as build-depends in order to build 
whysynth with nicer knobs.

2) we can drop the debian/control build-depends' "libasound-dev" which 
is not available anymore in debian.

3) we can bump to debhelper (>= 9).

4) the upstream repo moved to 
https://github.com/smbolton/whysynth/releases which the debian/watch 
file can be pointed to I think.

5) Please, find an updated machine-readable debian/copyright

Hope that helps.

Olivier

I've merged the 3 duplicate bugs about this issue.

As you've probably noticed this package isn't maintained by the
multimedia maintainers so we can't do a direct upload to fix this.
However given how old the package is, I don't think NMUing a new
upstream version would be that controversial.

It looks like you've already done some work on this. If you want, you
could create an updated package and get it uploaded. debian-mentors is
the general list for packaging help.

Thanks,
James
