Okay, I buy it.

a) Devs, who has a fcdsl, fcdsl2, fcdslsl, fcdslusb and/or fcdslslusb
(AVM FRITZ!Card DSL)? Step up and take net-dialup/fcdsl under your wing!


I got two of these donated by AVM (fcdslusb and fcdslsl). And
additionally a fcusb for net-dialup/fritzcapi
I think all the AVM-drivers in the tree are covered by me.

I dont think that it means that you are a bad maintainer when you do
not own the hardware. But if you dont like the work you should not do
it, please tell us then, I am ready to take over as much as I can to
help you.


b) Who has a device that works with net-dialup/hcfusbmodem and is
willing to become its maintainer?


sorry, I dont own a device .. nor does any developer I think, should
these ebuilds be not maintained then?
Imo when something cannot be tested it should be at least on its
latest version and in the tree and bugs that come up should be fixed.
And that can a maintainer do without owning the device.



Just a brief comment, we should keep ~arch for those drivers/applications
that still can't be tested for X or Y reason, and for informative purpose,
we also could include this information in metada.xml for example. (for users
to be aware of the current situation mainly, and at the same time for a _way_
to call people interested on mantaining the package).


Cheers,
