Hello
I'm the upstream maintainer of the guitarix project, which is in debian
since 2010-07-27, and I've noticed that guitarix is marked as autoremoval in
debian/testing because of this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805666
The bug mentioned above is fixed in upstream since some time. I'm myself
been a debian/sid user.
I've tried to reach the debian maintainer (Roland Stigge) of the guitarix
project for some time now, to no avail. (Usually we've had a good contact
all the time)
I've also send this mail already to
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org <mailto:debian-mentors%40lists.debian.org>
but I ain't receive a answer for now. So I guess maybe I've used the wrong
mailing list, and found now out about this list.
Well, debian-mentors might be able to help, but see below.
So, I'd like to ask here, is there anything I could do to prevent the
autoremoval,
First, the package will only be autoremoved from testing, not sid or
stable. Since the freeze is not near I would suggest you simply wait a
little longer for Roland to take care of it.
In case he doesn't show up you should probably get in contact with the
MIA team (https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MIA) who will decide whether to
"orphan" the package.
It's also possible to fix this bug with a non-maintainer upload (NMU)
prepared by someone else, possibly even yourself. In case you want to
explore this route debian-mentors can help with preparing the upload and
how to look for a sponsor.
