Bug#1113997: ITS: libdjconsole
Source: libdjconsole
Version: 0.1.3-3.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Multimedia Maintainers <debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org>, Adrien Cunin <adri2000@ubuntu.com>, 810432@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
Hi,
I'm interested in salvaging the package libdjconsole, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
This 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.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe the package would be a great addition to the Debian Multimedia
Maintainers team, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository
here[2]. 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.
Regarding bug #810432 (in CC): I admit I do not see any capacity in
becoming de facto upstream of this package. In case libusb-dev might be
removed from Debian this package probably needs to be removed as well.
This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
