Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: martin.steigerw...@proact.de Control: affects -1 src:fsmark
I intend to orphan the fsmark package. The package description is: The fs_mark benchmark tests synchronous write workloads. It can vary the number of files, directory depth, etc. It has detailed timings for reads, writes, unlinks and fsyncs that make it good for simulating mail servers and other setups. Reasons: I do not use fs_mark anymore. Upstream asked me to convert the package to a native package. I'd like to keep the gbp repository layout. I am not aware of major development on fsmark. Hints for someone who wants to take over maintenance: Due to the lack of development and the simplicity of the package except updating to current Debian standards there may not be all that much to do. Last release of package is from 6th of February 2019 and so far it just kept compiling. There was one binary rebuild. Apparently I did some further commits to the package repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/fsmark/ that I never released. See tracker page for the package: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fsmark Also there is one merge request about removing unnecessary constraints open on Salsa. When you take over the package, it is of course up to you whether to keep current gbp / quilt layout of the repo or convert to a native package. Last upstream repository I am aware of is from 2014: git://oss.sgi.com/dgc/fs_mark http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=dgc/fs_mark;a=summary These are gone. There might be an archive of those at archive.org Upstream developers I last had contact to are Dave Chinner and Ric Wheeler. This was also in 2014. In case you like to know their last e-mail addresses contact me by private mail.
