Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
I intend to salvage the hexbox package.
The current maintainer, Debian CLI Applications Team
<[email protected]>, has been inactive since
2016. The two uploads since then have been a no-source NMU (Holger
Levsen, 2022) and a one-off cli-common cleanup sweep (Andreas Tille,
2025) that inadvertently introduced a grave bug [1]. That bug has since
been resolved via an NMU [2] (1.5.0+dfsg-1.1, sponsored by Jeroen
Ploemen), but the package remains without an active maintainer.
I plan to adopt hexbox under the Debian .NET Team
<[email protected]>, and follow up with a new upstream
release (1.6.0 is available [3]). The package will be maintained in a
git-buildpackage workflow on Salsa [4].
Relevant bug: #1111276 [5] (cli-common removal effort that triggered
the original breakage).
