Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the yum-utils package.

The package is implemented in Python and is part of the rpm / yum
package software stack. This package will ideally be maintained within
the Debian RPM packaging team [1][2][3].

The team is cc'ed on this RFA, as well as Markus Frosch (lazyfrosch),
who has expressed interest in maintaining this package on #921131.

The package description is:
 Yum-utils is a collection of utilities and examples for the yum package
 manager. It includes utilities by different authors that make yum easier and
 more powerful to use. The commands provided are:
 .
  * repo-graph: output a full package dependency graph in dot format
  * repo-rss: generate an RSS feed from one or more yum repositories
  * repoclosure: display a list of unresolved dependencies for a yum repository
  * repodiff: list differences between two or more yum repositories
  * repomanage: list the newest or oldest packages in a yum repository
  * repoquery: query information from yum repositories
  * reposync: synchronize yum repositories to a local directory
  * repotrack: track a package and its dependencies and download them
  * yum-builddep: install missing dependencies for building an RPM package
  * yum-complete-transaction: attempt to complete failed or aborted yum
    transactions
  * yum-config-manager: manage yum configuration options and yum repositories
  * yum-groups-manager: create and edit group metadata for a yum repository
  * yumdb: query and alter the yum database
  * yumdownloader: download RPM packages from yum repositories
 .
 On Debian and derived systems, this package can be useful for installing
 and managing chroots or lxc containers of yum-based distributions. The
 utilities for querying and managing yum repositories may also be useful for
 maintaining repositories of RPM packages on a Debian host.

Although the package has not been updated in several years, there are
few open bug reports, one recent CVE, and there has been no new upstream
release. The packaging git repository is up to date and has been
migrated to salsa at

 https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-rpm-team/yum-utils

Markus, if you are added to the team now, feel free to add your changes
to this copy of the git repo and take ownership.

Thanks Mike, I just adopted the package and uploaded a new version.

Of course I forgot the RFA, so updating it now.

Cheers
