Salvaging Team <[email protected]>
Hi Daniel,
I would be interested in helping with sxiv, following the Package
Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. From what I
see, the package seems to meet the criteria for this process, and I'd
like to support keeping it maintained in Debian. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that I believe apply:
FIXME: DELETE ITEMS THAT DO NOT APPLY
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe the package would be a great addition to the Phototools team,
and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you
choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it
to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is
to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be
delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share
your Salsa login.
As the feh Uploader I like these tiny image viewer and think it makes
perfectly sense to maintain them in a coordinated team. For instance
I think the best way to fix bug #1082303 is to provide the alternatives
mechanism to enable users also installing the fork nsxiv - thus I
filed bug #1128391 which also should include alternatives. I think
this can be all best coordinated in a packaging team.
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.

PS: The package tintii might be also a nice fit into the Phototools team.
I'd happily help you migrating this as well.
