I have been away visiting family so not been able to do any package update work but I am now back home.

I already have zlib, libxml2, expat on my list to work on so I will have a look at those and the others.

Previously I had asked about updating that header but Michael had replied not to bother with it. If it should be done then I will have a look mat it in future but could you or Michael confirm that it should be updated if the end year is earlier than the current year?

I have also been working on the python3 update before my family visit but had some problems and waiting for feedback on a mail of mine. Will raise it at the conf call this evening.
