Bug#483480: RFA: ddccontrol-db -- monitor database for ddccontrol
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I request an adopter for the ddccontrol-db package. Upstream lost
interest some time ago and for a long time I have entertained the notion
of taking over upstream mainenance. However, it has become apparent
that I lack sufficient time and interest (I use ddccontrol much less now
than I did in the past). The package is currently (almost) bug free and
is very easy to maintain.
Since upstream is dead, prospective maintainers should consider taking
over upstream maintenance as well. In the case of the ddccontrol-db
package, I have added quite a few new monitors to the database but have
not made a new release. There is still a backlog of 70+ monitors to add
to the database, but adding them is not terribly complicated. I am an
admin on the sourceforge project and can provide admin access to someone
truly interested in taking over. I will also remain available to answer
questions regarding the package.
Should someone not step forward by the time Lenny is released, I will
simply orphan the package.
Please check the related bug for ddccontrol, of which upstram
ddccontrol-db is a part.
The package description is:
Database of monitors used by ddccontrol. This is mostly useless without
ddccontrol.
