Re: Migrated tk2 to Salsa - anyone serving as new Uploader

Hi,

tk2 and tk5 are two packages I've always been wondering if they are still useful. The upstream homepage doesn't even have a valid certificate.

Unless someone is actually using them, we should probably remove them.

Hi,

tk2 came up as a candidate for the bug of the day[1].  Its only bug is
as easy to solve as just putting the own ID as Uploader.  Unfortunately
I do not consider myself a good candidate to care for this package in
future (even if there might be not that much future for this package
since upstream development seems to have stopped).

I have simply moved the current packaging to Salse[2] and I'd happily
do the following:

  1. Switch d/rules to short dh
  2. Convert d/copyright to DEP5
  3. Modernise packaging running routine-update on it

Before I invest some time into this package I want to ask the Hamradio
team:  Do you think we should keep this package inside Debian?  Is there
any volunteer to work as Uploader who might take over what I'd love to
contribute?

Kind regards
    Andreas.
