I can confirm that this continues to be the case. i ran into it back in
January, and i've seen no updates to the bzr repo since then either.
In the absence of a public Vcs that tracks debian packaging for bash,
i've gone ahead and generated one that i'd feel comfortable contributing
to with:
gbp import-dscs --debsnaps bash
I also pushed the resulting repository to salsa at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bash so hopefully other people will take
a look at it and consider working with it from there.
This is obviously unofficial -- i don't have the bandwidth to be the
debian maintainer for bash, and even if i did, i'm not interested in
hijacking the package away from Matthias.
But looking at the packaging, it looks like there are potentially
several cleanup/simplification steps that could be taken, and it could
be useful to have a place to coordinate that kind of work.
I've pushed the branch fix-747400 to the salsa repo as an example of how
we might do a bit of packaging collaboration.
Doko, I'd be happy if you see this as something you can use too. Maybe
it'll make it easier to get more debian packaging contributions for bash
itself! But if you prefer to coordinate it somewhere/somehow else,
please point the Vcs-* fields at that ___location and i'll be happy to use
it instead.
All the best,
--dkg
Many thanks for your efforts Daniel, sadly this remains an issue.
It would be great to allow some collaboration on a public repository,
especially on such an essential package that bash is. It might save
everyone's time when it was possible to base a discussion on an actual
MR/PR instead of going through the bug tracker, also for
features/changes or small fixes like typos and such and generally that
not all is depending on the time and availability of a single person.
However, I appreciate all the work and maintenance that is done of course.
Stay healthy,
Micha

While working on a Debian derivative I found myself wanting to refer to
the versioning history of bash, so I've continued Daniel's work by
importing all versions known to snapshot.debian.org between Debian 10
and now. If there are no more bash uploads before Debian 13 (which seems
reasonably likely now that we have passed the toolchain freeze), then this
will cover the Debian 11, 12 and 13 stable releases.
I've tried to preserve the branching history for things like NMUs and
experimental, so versions debian/5.2+dfsg-0.1 and
debian/5.2.15-2+loong64 are only available as tags and do not exist on
any branch (they were not merged as-is by the maintainer, so they are
"dead ends" in the packaging history). Similarly, the debian/trixie and
debian/master branches diverge after 5.2.32-1, to reflect
testing/unstable and experimental having diverged after that point.
Similar to what Daniel said, this continues to be unofficial. It is
hopefully useful to someone other than me, and can be used for reference
or as a basis for sending patches, but the maintainer's (private?)
revision history takes precedence, unless the maintainer decides to
adopt the git repo as official.
Thanks,
smcv

Hi Simon,
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash is another viable base
repo. (I use it as a base for <https://salsa.debian.org/gioele/bash>.)
The branch `ubuntu/debian/sid` tracks all patches-unapplied versions of
bash uploaded to unstable, so it should ("may"?) match the versions on
snapshot.d.o. There are other branches tracking different releases and
experimental.
Does your repo contain versions that are not present in the Ubuntu repo?
Regards,
--
