Bug#1092585: ITP: sos -- Set of tools to gather troubleshooting data from a system



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: arif <arif.ali@canonical.com>
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name    : sos
  Version         : 4.8.2
  Upstream Contact: Jake Hunsaker <jacob.r.hunsaker@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/sosreport/sos

  Description     : Set of tools to gather troubleshooting data from a system

I am currently maintaining the package sosreport and one of the upstream
maintainers, and this is a rename of this project to sos.

The project was renamed upstream a while back as the report functionality is now
a sub command and sos has now multiple components, namely report, clean, collect
and soon a new one called upload. On this basis it doesn't make sense anymore
for the package to be called sosreport. RPM based distros changed a while back,
and this is to follow upstream and the community.

The plan is to upload a transitional package sosreport that will allow smooth
upgrades, and in the future to maintain the package as sos.

The current package status is in Salsa https://salsa.debian.org/arif-ali/sosreport
