Dear Mentors, several moons ago, I offered to adopt the asio package, see #583862. Despite several attempts to ping Simon, I didn't get any answer since he offered to sponsor the package.
I have to admit I didn't pursue this further, either. Mostly due to lack of motivation to nag people. (I'm surprised to realize just now that I didn't ever ask for a sponsor on debian-mentors, before. Could have sworn I did.) Today, Daniel turned to me, showing interest in the updated asio package (newer version works better with clang, he says). I know it's late in the release cycle, but please just take this as an offer: I'm still happy to take over maintenance of asio. (And, I'd obviously appreciate it being part of Debian.) I've (re-)uploaded the latest version of the package to mentors (no change since I last uploaded it there, though - it's still the most current upstream version available). There are no new bugs filed, I already commented on all (2) outstanding issues. The new upstream version would certainly fix one, if not both of them. The very usual info: * Package name : asio Version : 1.4.8-1 Upstream Author : Christopher M. Kohlhoff <[email protected]> * URL : http://think-async.com * License : Boost Section : devel It builds those binary packages: * libasio-dev - cross-platform C++ library for network programming * libasio-doc - documentation for asio C++ library for network programming To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/asio Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/asio/asio_1.4.8-1.dsc Regards Markus Wanner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
