General Questions • Why is 'matrix-synapse' now in backports?

Why is the 'matrix-synapse' package now in backports?

* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-ba ... ix-synapse

According to the documentation on synapse, 'matrix-synapse' can be installed directly from the main stable repos on bookworm

Andrej Shadura maintains a matrix-synapse package in the Debian repositories. For bookworm and sid, it can be installed simply with:

Code:

sudo apt install matrix-synapse

(source)

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be true (note this 404s):

* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/matrix-synapse

Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of 'backports', but it seems to me that the natural progression of a package would be to move from backports into the normal 'stable' repo. But, in this case, we have a package that the docs say it's available in 'stable' but it appears to only be available in backports for the last 2 debian releases

* https://packages.debian.org/bullseye-ba ... ix-synapse
* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-ba ... ix-synapse

What happened to this package, and -- in general -- where can I go to read the comments from maintainers myself to understand its history, so I don't have to ask about it in the forums?
