Bug#361346: Debian astrolog ITA
Greetings arawaco@ieee.org,
I just filed my ITA on the Debian astrolog package, which I've been
working on for a month or so now -- I've updated the building, patched
some code, fixed various bugs and policy violations, etc. I've also
been in contact with the upstream author about clarifying the licensing.
I hadn't filed a formal ITA yet until today, though. Nobody had touched
the package in a log time, but I'm anticipating being ready to upload in
the next couple of days, as soon as I finish writing the man page and
hear back from the -legal folks.
Anyway, I just noticed that you sent a message to the O: bug yesterday
saying:
> ITA, i wans to adopt this package
> thank you
but you didn't actually _do_ the ITA by taking ownership and retitling.
It's a rather bizarre coincidence that after all this time we both
started working on it so close together!
Have you done much work on this yet? I really don't want to get into a
struggle over adoption of the package, but I've done rather a lot of
work already and would like to continue, especially if I can get the
package moved out of non-free (and I'm optimistic this can happen).
