Thanks for your positive answer. I have pushed a preliminary version of the packaging on salsa [1]. You should have maintainer access to that project. Please feel free to do some changes if you feel them necessary. Here is the status: - So far I have chosen to have a single binary package, while for example Fedora is using one package for the headers and one for rpcgen. As rpcsvc-proto is Multiarch: foreign, I am not sure it is worth having 2 binary packages. But other opinions are welcome. - I haven't done the ITP yet. - glibc 2.32 removed support for both nsl and rpc. We have been working first on the nsl transition which should be mostly ready by now, just sitting in NEW. We should prepare for the rpc transition, but I don't think we need to upload it yet to the archive, as the upload need to be coordinated with a glibc upload. - The idea is that when glibc is built without rpc support, the libc6-dev package depends on libtirpc-dev and rpcsvc-proto. - A few weeks ago I have identified packages that do not build once nsl and rpc are removed from glibc. Now we need to identify and fix the ones that still do not built when using libtirpc-dev and rpcsvc-proto. I have already submitted a few patches there [3]. Please also note that Balint Reczey also expressed interest in co-maintaining this package. Balint, is it still the case? If so, I'll also give you access to the project on salsa.
