msktutil Release 1.2

Asked by Max

The msktutil project has now had release version 1.2! (https://github.com/msktutil/msktutil/issues/182)

Is it possible this will make Jammy and/or earlier LTSs?

Also it it possible to please update the "Homepage" from Sourceforge to GitHub?

For updating older releases see the FAQ linked above.

For jammy:
Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work) and also Debian has only versions up to 1.1, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/msktutil
Apparently Debian has not noticed the move from sourceforge to github either.
Meanwhile the freeze dates for jammy have been passed, so I think it will be too late for jammy (unless freeze exceptions are approved).

First step to get msktutil version 1.2 into a future Ubuntu release is creating a bug in Debian's bug tracker system to inform them of the github move and that a new release is available.

Hello @Manfred Hampl,

This has now been fixed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009226

Msktutil in Debian has now been updated to 1.2: https://packages.debian.org/sid/msktutil

Will this copying happen automatically? If so, when? Or is some extra work needed on Ubuntu's side?

Already written in comment #4:

I assume that msktutil 1.2.* will make it only into the next Ubuntu release after jammy (letter k, October 2022).
You can try creating a bug report to request a SRU for jammy or you can try creating a PPA with such version yourself.

Can you help with this problem?
