Note to others: This is of course "how debian does it". But this sort of thing has not worked very well for us in the past. (because some people post "intent", but then never complete the job. This is not directed at Peter: I'm specifically meaning different people) For a package where the maintainer is already marked "retired", any maintainer can create a package¸and submit it. Once it passes release manager checks, they then automatically become the new maintainer of that package. There is no prerequisite to post "intent" in this case. Results matter more than "intent" :) _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
