However I'm not sure what to do once finished (two or three days at most). Good to hear. If you hare happy with the package, you would probably want to go via the Debian sponsorship process (mailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to get your updated package included. That list is, most likely, also a place where people will be able to answer questions. As for the responsive maintainer argument, I can take over the package, however I would prefer not have to. Someone has to. Additionally, I would suggest that interested parties could subscribe to information about the package[1] if they have not already done so. That way, more people are notified when issues arise and can help out.

Hi Walter, unfortunately, one week after filing the removal request and your mail indicating that things may start to move for aegis, we cannot detect any improvement at the Debian end. Usually, we would remove packages at this point, but I guess a grace period of one more week is in order. Note, though, that the usual timeframe to adress bugs deemed "release-critical" is two weeks and the Christian did not respond to #461034 for two months, even after this removal request had been filed. In order to release aegis with lenny and keep it in the archive, you would have to ensure that it has a responsive maintainer. Both Debian and the people developing aegis probably would not want Debian users to be exposed to a version that has severe bugs. That said, even if we do remove aegis from Debian for now (it already has been removed from lenny for the time being and would not be released with Debian 5.0 if it remains unfixed), that would not hinder reinclusion if someone steps up to maintian it again.

Hi, not to duplicate work here. I compiled 4.24 and right now it's a matter of getting the manpages into order and checking the compile behaviour on pbuilder (most of the reported bugs during the last couple of years were pbuilder build related). Actually I didn't know that there was a conversation going on with the Debian archive maintenance folks. Walter, in short term we should coordinate on the lintian warnings and pbuilder issues. Long term I'd prefer to shift aegis over to alioth and maintain and build it from there in a joint fashion with Walter (as upstream comaintainer).
