Bug#808074: RFA: fbreader -- e-book reader
With thanks in advance to Eugene V. Lyubimkin for maintaining it over the years.
Dear Prahlad Yeri:
If you are still (or someone is) interested in adopting the package and the previous attempt (five years ago) was simply unresolved due to lack of response from the maintainer as it seems to be, now may be a good time for an ITA considering the deletion of the package in testing (now two months ago) due to ftbfs with GCC-11 https://tracker.debian.org/news/1270837/fbreader-removed-from-testing/
About ITA: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
O If you are going to adopt a package, retitle its bug to replace "O" with "ITA", in order for other people to know the package is being adopted and to prevent its automatic removal from the archive, and set yourself as the owner of the bug. To actually adopt the package, upload it with your name in its Maintainer: field, and put something like * New maintainer (Closes: #bugnumber) in the changelog of the package in order to automatically close this bug once the package has been installed; where bugnumber has to be replaced with the corresponding bugreport number. Furthermore, before you actually upload a new package with you as the maintainer, you should check if there is a new upstream release and you should try to fix the outstanding bugs.
