Bug#1012397: RFA: oz -- Install virtual machine guest OSs with minimal input from the user



Package: wnpp

Hi,

The 'oz' package is a fairly small and well-documented package to
install virtual machine images based on official CD images.

I'm no longer personally using 'oz' and can no longer find/prioritize
time to maintain it.  The packaging is in good shape and is maintained
via salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/jas/oz

Since last version in testing, 0.17.0, there has been a new 0.18.0 and
0.18.1 that were released with less than optimal QA process so the
self-checks no longer works, see reports:

https://github.com/clalancette/oz/issues/295
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/oz/-/jobs/2851439

The problem were probably introduced here:
https://github.com/clalancette/oz/pull/269

It looks like a simple problem that can be resolved by adding a new
parameter useuefi=false to the relevant function calls, but patching
upstream code was the final stick that broke this camel's back, hence
I'm asking for someone to take over this package from me.  Upstream
haven't been responsive to fix this either, presumably suggesting
reduced interest in this software.

Anyone?
