Bug#528616: RFA: dares - rescue files from damaged CDs and DVDs



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am offering 'dares' for adoption, since I am already ignoring it for
too long. The package does:

 Dares scans a CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD for files. This also works when
 the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged and cannot be mounted
 anymore.

This tool has never seen any upstream release since I packaged it for
Debian and is getting old.  Both the software itself as well as the
packaging are really simple.  There are currently two open bugs.

The popcon count is 230 -- not too low, so maybe someone wants to take
care of this package in the future. Otherwise I would orphan it in a
couple of weeks. Since it seems to be upstream dead, completely removing
it from the archive might the most viable option.

If you want to take over just take what is currently in the archive and
upload a new version. Since there was no upstream release there is also
no history, hence no VCS.


Cheers,

Michael
