Bug#323035: Processed: referring issue to technical committee

The problem is that the maintainer refuses to concede that his packages are in violation of Debian's shared library packaging policy, or believes that this policy is incorrect or somehow irrelevant to his package. That's definitely a problem, but it's not a technical problem. I was hoping that the technical committee might be able to discern which of these is the case, and then decide which elements need to be fixed and by whom, in order that the adoption of SILC-based software may continue in Debian. If you had posed this as a technical question, we might have been able to do something, but: However, it now seems that he's willing for someone else to maintain the package (see his mail on #273871), so it might be in order to orphan the package and close this technical committee bug. You're probably right that it's best to simply close this bug. Would you like to do the honors? Thanks, -- Raul
