Description Ben Beasley 2025-12-20 10:02:20 UTC

Please review the linked PR, which would update adobe-afdko from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3[1].

I maintain the python-cffsubr package[2], which relies on the tx executable from adobe-afdko. While the package still works with 4.0.1, updating to 4.0.3 would preserve parity with upstream for python-cffsubr[3], and would allow all users to benefit from bugfixes in the most recent to adobe-afdko patch releases[4]. Ideally, this package would be updated in all active branches.

I’m not especially eager to co-maintain this package, but I’m willing do so. If necessary, this issue may serve as the initial step in the lightweight stalled request process[5].

Thank you very much for PR - much appreciated

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2025-12-22 06:55:54 UTC

Do you see a need to backport btw?

> Do you see a need to backport btw?

I don’t think there is a pressing *need*, but given that https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/afdko/blob/4.0.3/NEWS.md describes a number of bug fixes and no changes that look potentially disruptive, it seems like a backport should be safe and would be well justified.
