orphaning some of my packages
|
|
| Graham Wilson 2004-03-08, 1:34 pm |
| I am orphaning the following packages:
libxslt
This is a fairly low-maintenance package, though good communication
with upstream via the mailing list and GNOME bugzilla are important.
mini-dinstall
I don't use this package nearly as much as I used to, and would like
someone who actively uses it to take it. Note that mini-dinstall is
written entirely in Python.
passivetex
xmltex
These two packages are used together to produce DVI or PDF from
XSL-FO. The maintainer should be familiar with both TeX and XSL-FO.
xmlto
This is a driver program that converts DocBook XML to a variety of
different output formats. This package is fairly low-maintenance: most
of the bug reports just need to be reassigned to other packages in the
tool chain.
Ideally, the person that adopts xmlto will adopt passivetex and xmltex,
or vice versa, since they are used together.
I have not yet filed wnpp bugs, but will do so with the packages that
haven't been adopted in a couple of days.

I'm using it and would be happy to maintain it.
I'm currently somewhat involved on the other side of things, namely dput.
Cheers

I would be intrested about these packages, as I know XML and related
things in a good enough state IMHO. I do not really know TeX, ofcourse I
used it for a small session once or twice, and has a small book of it.
Do you think it would be enough for a starter? Otherwise I know Debian
for a long time, has some packages in the archive and some are waiting
on ftp-masters - just as information as I am not a DD yet. I think it
would be better to keep the packages, but let me work on them, so all
you would have to do is check and upload them.
Cheers,
Laszlo

I'd take this one, since I'm currently maintaining libxml2, which is
his older brother.

I use these packages pretty extensively and will be willing to take
this on if nobody else more qualified or more interested wants to take
it on.

It seems nobody adopted any of these. Can you please get those
removed you feel are obsolete, and file RFA or O bugs for the rest?

Well, I'm still actively maintaining all of them, but when I get tired of
doing so I will O: or bug ftp.debian.org to remove them.
Thanks for reminding me.
