Hi and thank you for your work on mm3d,

I got this report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034674 and was curious if you could tag a new release?

Best,

if you could rename README to README.md it would also look much better, would that be possible?

Hello. The bug report filed against Maverick 1.3.12 referenced probably being fixed by this commit (https://github.com/zturtleman/mm3d/commit/f00fdd5f2a27292a646a23ba34f80be50ab9844c) which is included in the Maverick 1.3.13 release from 2021. The only changes since then are from the past two weeks but I am considering a new release.

It looks like the commit could be backported to 1.3.12 but I don't currently maintain past releases. Does Debian stable accept general bugfix-only updates to applications?

I found how to stop automake from requiring a "README" file, so I've now renamed the readme file.

Regarding the Debian package, could you remove listing blender, wings3d, and yafray as recommends (shown as "rec:" lines on https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/mm3d)? They are fine software but apt and GNOME Software install recommended packages by default. So apt install mm3d also installs blender and wings3d. It can be avoided using apt install --no-install-recommends mm3d but it's an odd workaround.

I tagged a new v1.3.14 release. I don't think I can help with the 1.3.12 issue in Debian stable, so closing issue. Thanks.

just here to chime in: Debian/bookworm ships with v1.13.13 and the bug has indeed fixed been there.

As Debian/bookworm is currently in "deep freeze" (that is: the scheduled release date for Debian is 2023-06-10), we will ship a fixed version within Debian pretty soon, so afaict no action is required from your side (regarding our bug #1034674).

Another implication of the "deep freeze" is that we won't be able to demote the "recommends" to a mere "suggests" (which won't get installed automatically) until Debian/trixie
