Bug#134548: RFA: cvs
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Short story: cvs is no better off with me than without. I'll be here
for serious bugs and security issues, but it really needs a new
maintainer.
Anyone who has followed the cvs package in the last couple of years
knows that it has not been well-maintained, either before or after i
adopted it. I noticed that the package was effectively unmaintained
and broken in many ways. I took it over, planning to clean up its
Debconf abuses and make it a good Debian citizen again.
Unfortunately, shortly after taking it over my job changed
drastically. I have not had the time to work on Debian stuff that i
originally did, and the nature of my job leaves me wanting to stay
away from the computer during my precious free time. So, eight months
later, the cvs package is in no better shape.
I have fixed one trivial problem with the Debconf abuse, but that's
it. I have tried to fix the more serious bugs that have come across
and tried to close all the bogus ones. I have maintained it in only
the purest sense of the word; i have not made one real improvement in
the package.
Whoever steps forward, please contact me for a tar archive of my CVS
repository.
