I wouldn't mind, it makes me realize there are enough packages around that might be just removed, orphaned or something like that. But I'm not sure how good to keep these around.

Yup, I have several packages where upstream is dead, upgrading would need a lot of effort, etc. I keep them in the archives, even if usually I think I should have asked for their removal. Salsa and the appearance of team maintenance may just shadow that a package is no longer maintained for some reason. Would you find odb if it's already on Salsa? > What I could imagine doing in any case is: > * migrating the current packaging to Salsa in its present state, > * documenting the upstream changes and the build2 transition in a > README.source, so that any interested contributor has the relevant > information readily available. That sounds viable. If you have time for this, please do so. Regards, Laszlo/GCS
