Package: wnpp Followup-For: Bug #1055064 Hi Jan,
(recycling parts of the answer to the RFS, as this is relevant here too:) This part of the CONTRIBUTING.md concerns me: We are sorry, but at the moment, we do not accept external contributions until wehave established a contribution process. We're working behind the scenes to get this ready in the future. Until then, we would kindly ask you to not open pull requests. This stanca is older than a year (Aug 2022), so when will this happen? Sorry to be blunt, but putting a DFSG license on a piece of software and then saying we do not accept contributions, is IMHO not within the spirit of the Open Source Community, even if it might on paper fullfil the DFSG. This is also problematic for maintaining the package, as how should we, as Debian, upstream patches, for example if you are go missing for whatever reasons? Effectively, everyone with a need for changes would need to maintain a fork, and that is certainly nothing Vector could want. In Debian we do not package every software. So maybe I'll need a salse pitch here: - Why does Vector want it in the Debian archives? - Why would Debian want it to be in the Debian archives? - Are there other projects using the library that you intend to package for Debian? -- tobi
