Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Owner: James Montgomery <james@bitrefactory.com>
Control: affects -1 src:libbs2b
Control: block 1007187 by -1

Hi - I intend to adopt the libbs2b package.

The package is currently orphaned (see Bug #1007187), and I plan to resume maintenance.

As part of the adoption, I propose modernizing the package and switching the upstream source to the more active and maintained fork at:
    https://github.com/alexmarsev/libbs2b

This GitHub-hosted fork:
- Has a more permissive MIT license,
- Offers cleaner and more modern autotools integration,
- Is already packaged in other distributions (e.g., Alpine),
- Is actively used in audio toolchains.

My initial goals for the package include:
- Switching to the GitHub source while preserving ABI compatibility,
- Updating packaging to current Debian Policy and debhelper standards,
- Fixing all Lintian warnings,
- Verifying and improving reproducibility,
- Publishing work to Salsa and requesting sponsorship via mentors.

I will update the existing orphan bug with a cross-reference to this ITA.

I am closing this ITA bug #1110437 as a procedural error in how I filed it.

According to the Work-Needing and Prospective Packages (WNPP) documentation at https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/:

> "ITA: Intent To Adopt" - You should not directly submit a report with this tag. ITA reports/bugs should be converted from RFA or O reports instead.

I incorrectly filed a new ITA bug instead of following the proper procedure, which is to retitle the existing orphan bug #1007187 from "O:" to "ITA:".

I'll correct this by retitling bug #1007187 and setting myself as the owner of that bug for the package adoption.

Best, 

James
