Bug#323722: maintainer seems MIA, we should orphan this package.
Package: progsreiserfs Severity: grave Hi all, The previous maintainer, (which was not even a DD), has not been active since forever (well july 2004), and his email address bounces. Given that he did only one upload since timshell knoll left the debian project, and progreiserfs has an RC bug open since forever, it would be great if someone else would take over or something. There are a couple of fixes, probably for the RC bug even, in the bug-parted@gnu.org mailing lists, from the progreiserfs author himself. I personally don't want to take over porgreiserfs, since i am already saddled with parted i didn't really wish to maintain. That said, it would be nice to reenable progreiserfs support in parted, which is why progreiserfs fixed those bugs. Anyway, just wanted to bring this to the attention of the general public, not sure if this is the best way.

From: Sven Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, You have taken over libreiserfs maintainership last year, but since then not much has happened, and libreiserfs was kicked out of sarge because of an unhandled bug report. I am wondering what your status is with regard to libreiserfs, if you don't want or have time to handle it, maybe you should officially orphan it, so others can take over or something ? There are a couple of patch , which may or not fix your RC bug in the parted mailing list, from the libreiserfs upstream.

Try sending mail from other account and it will work. Not likely, i mean, maintainers should list a non-insulting email address in the maintainer field, and if they do not, i believe they do their maintainership job badly, which is why i also cced the BTS, just in case. Maybe RC was overkill though :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Sven... Jose Luis Tallon email is bouncing because he seems to be using some stupid RBL that bans every DSL user in the planet. Try sending mail from other account and it will work. Jose Luis is in the new maintainer process, and has been very active with his packages, as you can see: http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bacula.html http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been the sponsor for all these uploads, and definitely no, he is not MIA. Maybe you are right with progsreiserfs, it is not my favorite package to fsck my filesystem, it has lots of bugs, but if there are fixes we should let Jose Luis or someone to fix them.

Thanks, Rober... i'll have to remove that i think.

Well, in fact, there was a quite harsh discussion re: progsreiserfs, including upstream Hans Reiser himself. Mmm, i was under the impression that there are two different things, progreiserfs and reiserfsprog, one being from hans-reiser upstream, and the other from some other guy. I believe that the one you package and the one parted uses is not the one where hans reiser is involved in. It was decided --with mediation from RM Steve Langasek-- that it shall be left in unstable with an RC bug for the time being until we could find some better solution... this might mean updating the packaged version, which i won't do until i can confirm *from upstream* that it is indeed stable. Ok, but now that sarge is released, what are the plans for etch ? The question is if i keep parted without reiserfs support, or if i add it again ? Thanks for your attention but i'm definitively *not* MIA. Hehe, the bouncing email and the 1 year plus old changelog entry made me believe otherwise. But that said, have you looked at the patches in the bug-parted mailing list, do you want me to send them or something ?
