I'm fine with moving libjbzip2-java (which I uploaded today) once pkg-java has moved to Salsa (or did I missed the move?) > Multiple teams wanting to maintain a library is a good problem to have. > I propose we consider: > > (a) pulling these libraries into the "Debian" project on Salsa, which > replaces collab-maint and grants commit permissions to all DDs and any > designated guest account Hmmm, I admit I prefer a real team since I have the impression that the love a package receives is higher than for packages that end up in the collab-maint / debian "dustbin". > OR > > (b) relaxing the default pkg-java permissions to be like those of the > Debian Perl Team and allow all DDs by default I'd prefer this a lot. We did so for Debian Med on Alioth - I'm not sure how that works on Salsa but if we found out this will be established. > OR > > (c) configuring any other mechanism that would allow the union of these > two teams (and others!) to contribute to the packaging. Definitely. > As for which team is listed in the Maintainer field, I don't think it > matters much as long as we have a suitable set of interested Uploaders. I agree that it does not matter much. We have some lib*-java as well as python-* and lib*-perl packages maintained in Debian Med team if there are only Debian Med rdepends. If we think about it like in the libjbzip2-java case we should not only move back this one but also other packages to the Java team. That would be fine for me but there are always cases where one needs to decide between (at least) two teams. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
