I welcome both this orphaning and the suggestion for a lintian warning to discourage the continued use of CDBS. Formally I have stepped down as maintainer of CDBS, so will leave it to the existing maintainers to formally move the git repo (or not, if for some reason they choose another way forward). Just one detail: Other packages are mentioned, and I guess that's because they reside(d) in same salsa section as cdbs. I agree that gnulib has moved on (and is now orphaned as well, as I recall), but licensecheck still has a home (for *upstream* development) at https://salsa.debian.org/build-common-team/licensecheck.git - regardless of also having another home (for *packaging* maintenance) at https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/licensecheck.git So please do *not* mess with licensecheck - or other git repos in the salsa section "build-common-team". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
