Make Debian stable package about mosh HOT 12 CLOSED

is there a way to follow an issue without commenting?

from mosh.

The unstable package appears to install and run fine on Debian stable, so we could just distribute those.

from mosh.

Hunh? It depends on a later libc6 and on libtinfo5, which depends on multiarch-support. Neither is trivial to install on Stable.

Unfortunately I think this was true 17 days ago but no longer -- Debian unstable is a moving target (obviously). We may need to get into squeeze-backports or distribute our own deb to make this workable. Sorry.

from mosh.

Be good to get a static build or something. I just tried using http://progress-linux.org/ backports and it was a no go.

from mosh.

How about the package in Debian testing? Is that more feasible?

from mosh.

I just learned that we have a mosh 1.1 package that has just been uploaded to squeeze-backports (build probably still in progress), so hopefully this will be solved soon!

from mosh.

It seems that mosh has arrived at squeeze-backports.

# aptitude versions mosh
i   1.1-1~bpo60+1                                 squeeze-backports         500 

from mosh.

h2:# aptitude versions mosh
E: No such package "mosh".
h2:# grep backports /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main

from mosh.

There aren't any packages for i386, only amd64: http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/m/mosh/

from mosh.

We have an i386 package now -- probably just had to finish building on the Debian build servers.

Thanks, I gave it a whirl from my Archlinux laptop in Singapore with a Hetzner server in Germany. Couldn't say it fealt any snappier. I was wondering what the underlining stuff is about.
