Bug#1099851: ITS: dvi2ps
Source: dvi2ps
Version: 5.1j-1.5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian TeX maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>, OHURA Makoto <ohura@debian.org>, 436778@bugs.debian.org, 1030072@bugs.debian.org, 1044774@bugs.debian.org, 1066362@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
iHi,
I'm interested in salvaging your package dvi2ps, 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.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian TeX
maintainers, 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.
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.
