p3nfs (was Bug #21488: p3nfs linked against libc5)
As listed in The Hamm Bugs Stamp-Out List for 1998-06-08, p3nfs is still
linked against libc5, and the maintainer, cmchow@se.cuhk.edu.hk (Billy
C.-M. Chow) cannot be contacted.
I have looked on ftp.uni-elargen.de:/pub/psion3/local/utilities and found a
glibc diff for version 5.3 (current version in hamm is 5.1). I've
downloaded this and with a one line patch it compiles, and I've had it
working.
I would be willing to adopt the package with this new release, but I don't
have a psion permanently; the one I'm using is on loan.
So, 4 choices:
i) I do a NMU of the libc6 p3nfs. If it doesn't work, I'd be willing to
look into problems.
ii) I become maintainer of p3nfs (what is the correct procedure here?), and
then orphan the package when I lose access to a psion. Or even continue
maintaining it, with no idea whether my latest builds work...?
iii) Someone else takes over p3nfs, starting with what I have at the moment.
iv) We drop p3nfs from frozen, as this is a major version change, and there
won't be a large number of people testing it. I'd prefer not to do this,
though, as I for one use it. And it's in bo.
Comments, suggestions?
