I would suggest moving debdelta from your personal salsa account to the debian organisation, and then giving commit access to it for anyone who is not a Debian member and is interested in helping, you could also use salsa merge requests instead. > There are some problems to address (a few urgent): how do we discuss? > mailing list? does `salsa` have a way to open a chat/mailing list for > us to use? You could use debde...@packages.debian.org or a tracker.debian.org team for discussions or even the debian-devel mailing list. For chat I would suggest a new IRC channel on OFTC or using one of the existing ones like #debian-apt, #debian-dpkg or #debian-devel. https://wiki.debian.org/IRC#How_to_create_a_new_.23debian-.2A_channel -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Thanks for also fixing the debdelta service! PS: I think this points towards a need to have more people involved in maintenance of the debdelta package and also the service. A Mennucc1, would you be interested in having assistance with the codebase and the service? Calum, would you be interested in co-maintaining the code and helping out with the service? -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The next autoremoval date is getting closer, so it looks like A Mennucc1 does not have time to fix this issue, please upload a more minimal NMU and I will sponsor that. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Yeah, when I tried to build it locally, it failed due to files that are present in the source package but missing from Git. I had to manually generate the PDF docs, and the additional changes were me trying to automate that process. However, while the modified commands ran fine on my testing box and in a testing schroot, they broke spectacularally in the unstable schroot. After several hours of adding more build dependencies to try and make it work, I eventually gave up and just included the PDF I built locally in the source package. If you'd like, I can revert back and generate a more minimal NMU. > It looks like A Mennucc1 will be working on this issue soon though. As long as it gets fixed!

I was looking at sponsoring this, but based on the debdiff it appears to have some changes that are not in the patch you posted to the bug. It looks like A Mennucc1 will be working on this issue soon though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I have prepared an NMU for this package. It is currently at https://mentors.debian.net/package/debdelta/ .
