Hi Francois, On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 3:04 AM, francois.niederco...@laposte.net francois.niederco...@laposte.net wrote: Now, the first step I've to do is to answer every of these bug reports (cernlib - #508413, cfortran - #508500,geant321 - #508496, mclibs - #508498, mn-fit - #508501, paw - #508495) by changing the subject with ITA, am I right ? Yes. (By the way, if you don't use all of those packages, you aren't obligated to adopt every single one! I know that mn-fit and mclibs, at least, have really low popcon numbers, so if you don't have any use for them, feel free to leave them orphaned.) For the second step : upload the packages with my name in its Maintainer: field, and put something like | * New maintainer (Closes: #bugnumber) | in the changelog of the package in order to automatically close this bug once the package has been installed. I can't upload the packages, so I need to ask to debian-mentors-list (or debian-science) to find a sponsor for the upload, is this correct ? Yes. However, take note that some of the source packages are quite large, and it is a little hard on the buildd machines to make a new upload solely for the purpose of changing the maintainer name/email. I'd suggest also doing at least some cleanup of Lintian warnings prior to a new upload. (But really, you're free to do whatever you like as long as someone will sponsor it :-) But I don't know the procedure for a comaintainership package, or for a team maintainership, if somebody can explain me the extra steps ? I also need to correct outstanding bugs affecting the packages. It's perfectly OK to take over packages and make a new upload without fixing every outstanding bug ... some bugs are hard or impossible to fix, while some are wishlist and not really necessary to implement. (Bugs in both those categories are often best pushed upstream, except that none of these packages really have an active upstream anymore.) bug #348065 affecting cernlib is not yet corrected (I've basically no experience on bsd, I can't give it a try now, but as the severity is wishlist perhaps I didn't have to correct it before uploading cernlib ?) This is likely one of those hard or impossible bugs except maybe for an Imake / BSD expert. bug#374978 affecting paw seems to be corrected, so I've basically nothing to do (?) It's been corrected at least for the immediate problem that was initially reported ... in my opinion the cause of this symptom is a bug itself, but it's a systemic bug in the architecture of Paw that would be very difficult to fix. So I agree that there isn't much to be done here... maybe either leave the bug open and tag wontfix, or just close it. bug #507429 affecting cfortran didn't seem to be corrected (yes ?), but I could apply the correction that is suggested in the last mail. Please feel free. bug #249483 affecting cfortran, it is a wishlist also. Right, it was something I didn't feel I had the wherewithal to tackle. For bug #497023 (affecting cfortran) I think it may be corrected... Right, although before uploading a cfortran package that fixes this, it would be good to make sure that all the dependent packages still build. Finally, just wanted to double-check that you saw my other email to debian-science at http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2009/09/msg00066.html in case you also wanted to adopt the Cernlib on Debian web pages. best regards, -- Kevin B.

So, Mart�n, if you are not currently part of the group, I can add you - just give me your Alioth user name and promise to do no intentional harm. So, taking from Damog's developer page - We need to adopt: libcontextual-return-perl libcurses-widgets-perl libend-perl libio-prompt-perl liblingua-es-numeros-perl liblist-compare-perl libmath-fibonacci-perl libmath-nocarry-perl libmath-randomorg-perl libmath-vec-perl libnumber-compare-perl libopengl-perl libterm-size-perl libwww-freshmeat-perl libwww-google-calculator-perl libwww-myspace-perl They look quite simple, the only three open bugs on them look trivial to fix. We should check for updatedness, add watch files, and... Well, simple stuff in the end. Perl group: Should we? Who starts? David: Best luck.

Hello, I'll be taking a long vacation of Debian and free software activity for the next couple of months for personal reasons. Because of that, I'm orphaning my non-comaintained packages.

Just talk to the Debian Perl Group first, if thinking on adopting some of the Perl modules; talk first to the pkg-ruby-extras groups if thinking on adopting some of the ruby modules, also. mozilla-firefox-locale-all is being co-maintained by Luk Claes, I think he will know what to do with this important package. Here is the list: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=damogcomaint=no Only those under 'main' are the ones up for adoption, the other ones are, obviously, NMUs, backports or sponsored, which are of course, responsibility of their own maintainers.

Who are you to take over this package, just because you made it through the processs before him ? MHO: yes, I think a developer should have priority over a non-DD. This isn't about elitism, simply about the best interests of the users and the distribution. An existing developer can take over a package, make a new upload immediately, and generally knows what he is doing. Of course a DD can make mistakes too, but is known to have passed a skills check as part of the NM process. A non-DD needs to find a sponsor, may not have the skills to take on the package, etc. I am doubtful that this process can lead to a regularly maintained package. Further I think the developer has more committment and accountability to the project and their packages than a non-DD. This is not necessarily true but I think it will be in general. Some non-DDs may never make it to be developers at all - either because they are rejected, or lose interest along the way. The same arguments apply to ITPs. If I'm working on new package X, I don't want to wait until a sponsored upload of package Y that X requires is available. Sorry. I don't mean to be rude or elitist or whatever. May I ask what benefits you think a registered developer should be allowed to have over a non-DD? Do you argue for voting rights too?
