Bug#808048: O: live-build



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

The live-build package was previously maintained by Daniel Baumann, who
has retired from the Debian Project.

There has not yet been anyone come forward as a new technical lead for
the package, and as per Debian Policy §5.6.3, the package was orphaned
when Daniel removed himself from the Uploaders field.

I have performed an upload that converts this package to a native
package and includes any already committed changes. I have also updated
the Homepage and Vcs-* urls for the package. (I'm aware the Homepage
field doesn't currently go anywhere, these pages are a work-in-progress
as they used to be on Daniel's server, which has now been shut down).

This is a native package to Debian, not a package of upstream sources,
and so this package will take more time and effort to maintain than
other packages in Debian. Please be aware of this before taking
responsibility for it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

The Debian Live team is very happy for development to continue within
the team, we just do not currently have anyone with enough time
available to look after this package and maintain its quality to a high
standard.

If you'd like to speak to the team, please contact
debian-live@lists.debian.org or join #debian-live on irc.debian.org.

Thanks,
Iain.
