Shark / libshark packaging status
Dear all,
I recently pushed a candidate source package for Shark [1] to the
d-science package repositories [2]. After more careful reading of the
different ITP / RFP bugs filed for Shark [3][4], I just realized that
someone had already started working on it a while back (Goswin).
Please correct if I am wrong but it seems that no upload to the main
archive has been done so far for Shark. And rightfully so, since there
are some licensing issues in the distributed files (bug filed upstream)
and quite a bit of patching had to be done to fix the build system (PR
sent upstream). So as of today, I would advise against sponsoring an
upload for it just yet, although the packaging is ready (lintian-free,
upstream metdata, autopkgtest...).
I don't know how you guys want to handle the duplication, but I wanted
to confirm that I am happy to join force with Goswin should he want to
co-maintain this package with me.
