DH made so much progress that we all left :-). Jonas needed it for some packages and maintained it as long as he could. We did discuss the situation a few years back but no real plan/announcement followed unfortunately. I moved the repo to the Debian namespace. I also archived the cdbs-doc repo; the package is not build anymore anyway. The gnulib and licensecheck packages already have new git homes. I archives their repo. I suggest to create a lintian warning tag for cdbs-using packages so that they know that their build system is no longer developed. That's a good idea. I'll try to work on this. \_o< -- Marc Dequènes

I welcome both this orphaning and the suggestion for a lintian warning to discourage the continued use of CDBS. Formally I have stepped down as maintainer of CDBS, so will leave it to the existing maintainers to formally move the git repo (or not, if for some reason they choose another way forward). Just one detail: Other packages are mentioned, and I guess that's because they reside(d) in same salsa section as cdbs. I agree that gnulib has moved on (and is now orphaned as well, as I recall), but licensecheck still has a home (for *upstream* development) at https://salsa.debian.org/build-common-team/licensecheck.git - regardless of also having another home (for *packaging* maintenance) at https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/licensecheck.git So please do *not* mess with licensecheck - or other git repos in the salsa section "build-common-team". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Package: wnpp X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@jones.dk, f...@debian.org, d...@duckcorp.org, remi.theba...@gmail.com, kamathvasu...@gmail.com A year ago, the last active cdbs maintainer Jonas decided to cease further cdbs development. The other Uploaders have been quiet for years but I have copied them on this email. I am orphaning cdbs. @foka @js @duck Would you please move the cdbs repository to salsa's debian namespace? The gnulib and licensecheck packages already have new git homes. I suggest to create a lintian warning tag for cdbs-using packages so that they know that their build system is no longer developed. If you do not agree with orphaning, please pick up development again.
