Re: Debian MIA check
Greetings James,
I note that Yasuhiro Take (take@debian.org) is not listed in your
missive. He is maintainer for the Defoma package which has a large
number of bug reports some of which have apparently been corrected
by NMU's but not closed. There is a recent critical bug (#181749, 82
days old) which the submitter has proposed a correction.
As a result of the lack of action on Mr. Take's part regarding these
outstanding bug reports, the Defoma package has been listed as
orphaned (#180188) before the critical bug (#181749) was submitted.
I am attempting to step up to the plate, and I am experiencing a
high level of difficulties unravelling the many instructions for
becominig a maintainer as well as groking the source code (perl with
a bash or sh script against which bug #181749 has been filed).
Perhaps you could include Mr. Take in your attempt to clarify
package maintainer status.
Cheerio! fgd. kl7fhx
