First, Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (current maintainer) if you have plans for Wheezy, please tell me so, if not, why don't you fill and RFH or RFA ? So in case Felipe Augusto van de Wiel never answers, this is an Intent To Hijack ;) the webalizer package. Here is about why: The package has been uploaded only once by it's current maintainer: let the changelog [1] speaks. Current version is 2.01.10-32.7, so there was seven NMU to bring it there... 1: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/w/webalizer/current/changelog | webalizer (2.01.10-32) unstable; urgency=low | | * New Maintainer. (Closes: #407676). | * Acknowledge NMU (2.01.10-31.1), thanks Christian. (Closes: #403415, | #404180, #398840, #399063, #399081, #401621, #401805). | | -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) <faw@debian.org> Sun, 21 Jan 2007 02:19:53 -0200 le the upstream was inactive for several years there are new releases now. A bug about this is open [2] since July 2008. And does not show much recent interest from the maintainer. 2: http://bugs.debian.org/491200 I feel what I'm currently doing is kind of rude, however webalizer deserve a better packaging. I'm running my personal server at home for several years now so I keeps the logs (Eben Molgen explained why this is important) but If you want to have a look at what's in your log, then webalizer already does a great job for you. I'm currently learning the debian work and find it particularly difficult to start during freeze time... I'm going to need mentors and sponsor for that. So I did sent copy of this email to mentors for wise advices and a few other people that have shown interest in the package, sorry if it bothers you guys. My plan is: - wait a little for response - prepare a new package of the new version using format 3.0 quilt - check all patch from previous debian package - check all patch on the bts - check all remaining bugs on the bts - fill an RFS I'm aware that squeeze is frozen, so any package I could prepare would go to experimental.
