Package: wnpp

After maintaining the Debian package of tar since 3 December 1995
(nearly a quarter century!), I've decided it's time to let someone else
take over. 

The Debian tar package is generally in very good shape, and does all the
routine things quite reliably.  However, like many GNU project versions
of well-known Unix applications, tar has accreted a massive number of
optional features over the years... very few of which I actually use.
And these are what many of the open bugs against the package are about.

Also, as is the case with some other GNU applications, tar has
documentation under the FDL with invariant sections, so as a matter of
Debian policy the docs are distributed in non-free.  This complicates
the packaging process somewhat, though I have a well-documented process
for ingesting a new upstream release into the packaging repository and
rippling updates into the various required branches.

If you want to jump in, I suggest you start by taking a look at the
current list of open bugs, find one or two to fix, and then reach out to
me for some discussion.  As tar is an essential package, taking it on
does carry an extra measure of responsibility.

Regards,

Bdale
