Package: xe
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Hi
I have prepared packaging of v1.0 here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/xe/-/commits/debian/latest?ref_type=HEADS
The Salsa CI pipeline passes:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/xe/-/pipelines
Attaching a debdiff compared to 0.11-5 below.
Nicoo, do you want to upload 1.0 yourself? I am happy to co-maintain
and or just provide this as a one-time contribution if you prefer to
stay single maintainer of this package. Given that you marked yourself
as LowNMU I suppose you are okay with uploads given advance notice too
(as in this e-mail). I don't care strongly which route to proceed with.
We could also just move it to some team that maintains it, although I'm
not sure which team is most appropriate.
As per
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging
this is also an attempt at salvaging this package -- so please help me
follow the process correctly if I mis to do something right here -- for
the following reasons:
- There is no visible activity regarding the package for six months
MIA team, do you have anything to add?
/Simon
