Re: [tor-dev] Release new version of stem



Hefee:
Hey,

nodens(nodens@xxxxxxxxxx) and me are currently packaging the new version of
onionshare for Debian and stumbled over the dependency cepa[1], what is a fork
of stem. After digging deeper into it, I found out, that the main reason why
they do so is the support for Client Auth v3 onions[2]. I really would like
not to package a fork of stem, if possible. That's why I ask, when it is
planed to release a new version of stem? It hasn't seen any release since 2019
and there are a lot of changes in master branch too. Maybe you can just
release the current state of the maint branch, that is actually what is
released as cepa 1.8.3.

I some how need to solve this till January, when Debian is freezing (not
accepting new versions).

That is tricky as stem is not maintained anymore and therefore deprecated. There are no further releases planned and talking to atagar last time he said the master branch was not ready for release. We could think about minor point releases for the 1.8 series but those would just contain small bug fixes (like Python 3.10 compatibility) but no new features.

Hope this helps,
Georg
