Yes, I have made it clear in the past that I am happy with any transition plan at all, so I was not under the impression that I had to write anything... So, as long as you come up with a proper transition, you are very welcome to take over the rng-tools name, transition the old, forked codebase for low-bandwidth rng to another name such as rng-tools-legacy or -debian, etc... > he's been clear that he's happy for someone to take it over, or did you > talk to him before uploading your package and he told you that you'd > have to create your own because rng-tools was off limits? I am pretty sure I never hard-rejected any offers to take over the old rng-tools, but if anything I said years ago sounded like it, I can only say it is a major pity it took this long to get it straightened out. So, feel free to even become the new upstream for the forked codebase! Or just keep it on deep maintenance as a downstream maintainer, if you'd rather do it like that. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@debian.org>
