Package: wnpp
Severity: important

I intend to orphan debconf after sarge is released. I had hoped to have
the time to maintain it while we were transitioning over to cdebconf,
but the cdebconf transition is taking longer than I had hoped. Since I'd
prefer to devote what small amount of spare time and energy I have to
making that transition happen, rather than fixing some of the worse
architectural problems in debconf, it would be better if debconf had a
real maintainer.

Please carefully look over the bugs, make sure you can understand
debconf's rather strange OO perl implementation, and *talk to me* before
taking over maintenance of this package.

I'd also be willing to consider co-mantenance, especially if I didn't
have to do most of the work. :-)

I nobody steps up to do this, at best I'll continue to maintain the
package in the basic maintenence mode it's been in for a while, and it's
unlikely that the following debconf bugs will ever get fixed: 50595,
101800, 142944, 164396, 169868, 179865, 189026, 192889, 193694, 198297,
199722, 201703, 218182, 223039, 224400, 232296, 244972, 247134, 251417,
260189, 265286, 201431, 214916, 243219, 46250, 58980, 59870, 67097,
86817, 98611, 126752, 126753, 134191, 167177, 202059, 205095, 224154,
249119, 257704, 258021, 265355. Of these, most are fairly unimportant
except to their submitters; the biggest debconf bugs are the still
mostly unexplained occasional debconf db corruption, and the screwy and
problimatic to daemons fd redirection stuff.

Changes: 
 debconf (1.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Define UTF-8 as the encoding for all passthrough communication (it was
     previously undefined, causing installer breakage when using non-UTF-8
     locales). Now the passthrough frontend recodes everything to UTF-8 when
     talking to the UI agent, and we recode DATA parameters from UTF-8 to the
     user's charmap. Closes: #355251
   * Note that if you try to exchange non-ASCII text with debconf at the
     moment using anything but the DATA command, you lose unless you know
     that the other end is using the same character encoding as you.
     Retrofitting encoding sanity is hard.
   * Accept -- as an end-of-options terminator in frontend, even though it
     doesn't currently take any arguments. Simplifies a corner case in
     cdebconf compatibility.
   * Notice and error out on write errors (such as ENOSPC) when saving
     databases. Should help with a lot of database corruption bugs.
     Closes: #198297, #247849 (we hope)
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Rename the Punjabi translation file name from pa_IN to pa
     to fit a decision taken in -i18n
   * Man pages translations:
     - French updated
     - Complete translator information in addenda
 .
   [ Luk Claes ]
   * Translations:
     - Arabic updated programs (Closes: #357010).
     - Arabic updated debconf (Closes: #360584).
     - Brazilian Portuguese updated debconf (Closes: #357653).
     - Romanian updated programs (Closes: #361152).
     - Romanian updated debconf (Closes: #361157).

   * Fixed typo in French debconf-devel manpage (Closes: #358525).
   * Small correction in German programs translation (Closes: #358804).
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Finally applied Danilo Piazzalunga's gnome multiselct usability patch,
     which turns it into a list of checkboxes. Closes: #294116
   * Set maintainer to debconf-devel mailing list, this package is noticably
     Colin^Wteam maintained now. Closes: #265570
