Source: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: libarchive@packages.debian.org, roam@debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:libarchive It seems that over the years I have taken over maintenance for too many packages and I cannot really give all of them the care that they deserve. Thus, I request an adopter for the libarchive package. The package description is: The libarchive library provides a flexible interface for reading and writing archives in various formats such as tar and cpio. libarchive also supports reading and writing archives compressed using various compression filters such as gzip and bzip2. The library is inherently stream-oriented; readers serially iterate through the archive, writers serially add things to the archive. . Archive formats supported are: . * tar (read and write, including GNU extensions) * pax (read and write, including GNU and star extensions) * cpio (read and write, including odc and newc variants) * iso9660 (read and write, including Joliet and Rockridge extensions, with some limitations) * zip (read only, with some limitations, uses zlib) * mtree (read and write) * shar (write only) * ar (read and write, including BSD and GNU/SysV variants) * empty (read only; in particular, note that no other format will accept an empty file) * raw (read only) * xar (read only) * rar (read only, with some limitations) * 7zip (read and write, with some limitations) . Filters supported are: . * gzip (read and write, uses zlib) * bzip2 (read and write, uses bzlib) * compress (read and write, uses an internal implementation) * uudecode (read only) * separate command-line compressors with fixed-signature auto-detection * xz and lzma (read and write using liblzma) * zstandard (read and write using libzstd) . This package provides the files necessary for development with libarchive.Attachment: signature.asc

[ Gabriel Barrantes ] * New upstream release. - CVE-2025-60753 (Closes: #1037093). * Update debian/libarchive13t64.symbols. * Remove upstream-vcs-tag setting from debian/gbp.conf. * Delete debian/README.Debian, as it is no longer applicable. * Add debian/.gitignore. * Make minor improvements to debian/upstream/metadata. * Update debian/copyright file years, fix some typos. * Adopt the package (Closes: #1122503). * Drop obsolete patches: - debian/patches/typos.patch: forwarded upstream - debian/patches/test-locale-C.UTF-8.patch: originally added to help reprotest CI, but reprotest has since been replaced by debrebuild and tests now pass without it . [ Peter Pentchev ] * Run the test suite by default at package build time. * Add the year 2025 to my debian/* copyright notice. * Update the Salsa CI configuration: - use the now-canonical pipeline definition - temporarily disable reprotest, it interferes with some of the unit tests run at build time * Always run the unit test suite at build time: - dump the logfiles for failed tests - add the unzip-test-env patch to fix a test - use the C.UTF-8 locale for testing - no longer create the en_US.UTF-8 locale for the tests - let dh_auto_test handle parallel running by itself . [ Antoine Le Gonidec ] * Add myself as Uploader.
