Bug#1107641: ITS: hasciicam
Source: hasciicam
Version: 1.1.2-1.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 717690@bugs.debian.org, 765226@bugs.debian.org, 832524@bugs.debian.org, Luca Bigliardi <shammash@artha.org>, Denis Roio <jaromil@dyne.org>, Filippo Giunchedi <filippo@debian.org>, Debian Multimedia Maintainers <debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
Hi,
I'm interested in salvaging your package hasciicam, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:
- NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- Upstream has released several versions
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian
Multimedia team, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository
here[2]. BTW, I would have loved to import your previous packaging Git.
However, this did not seem to exist any more. If you choose not to
accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it to another
location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is to make it
as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be delighted to
assist in adding you as a team member if you could share your Salsa
login.
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: I do not plan to upload a salvaged package before the Trixie
release to not influenze the freeze process.
