Bug#1104616: Backporting trixie mini-httpd

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Alexandru, thanks for the reply!

Will the binary package from testing work as-is on stable/oldstable? I am usually careful about pulling packages forward that didn't get a backport build because I assumed there were other dependencies that would break, perhaps on OpenSSL versions and other such things, but from your note it sounds like that may not be an issue after all?

Building from source is another option.

I fully understand on the time commitment.

Thanks for stepping in as maintainer.

Regards
Lloyd
