I share the same opinion (I'm part of the Multimedia Team too :).



Yes, if Roland wouldn't maintain guitarix for debian any more, I would 
love to work with the Debian Multimedia Team.

I have v0.34 already packaged, and it seems to work well :) (I don't
intend to make much changes since it is an NMU).

Is there a place where I can find the changes for v0.33 and v0.34? They
aren't listed in the changelog file, and it would help me review the new
features.


Cheers,



I'm glade to hear that.

Well, I must admit that I recently fail to fill the changelog, but here 
is a pastebin of the recent changes from V0.32.2 to V0.34.0

Hi,

Thanks again Hermann for looking after the status of the package
in Debian :).

I have already sent an email to Guitarix's Debian maintainer, Roland
Stigge, to see if he keeps being interested on maintaining it (CC
m...@qa.debian.org), in case someone was also thinking on pinging him
and CCing MIA.

I will try to have an NMU ready this weekend before it gets autoremoved.
If someone beats me to it, I will be happy too :).

Cheers,

Hi Victor

Great to hear that you've take the ball.
If you've any trouble or needs help/clarification from upstream, let me 
know.

I'll be there. :-)

I might just do that in the next few weeks.

If Roland is indeed MIA, then I would love to see guitarix moved into
the Debian Multimedia Team where it could benefit from more people to
take care of it (including me).

Thanks for helping to take care of guitarix in Debian as well as upstream.

I see on the bug you have correctly tagged it as fixed upstream.

Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that a maintainer goes missing (most
of the time only temporarily). But it is not cool to just take over and
upload a new version.
There is some information here about maintainers that are missing in action:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MIA

As upstream, you could further help by adding a link in the Debian BTS
to the upstream commit that fixes the bug, or attach a patch.

Then someone could more easily do a Non Maintainer Upload (NMU) to keep
guitarix in debian testing (or get it back there after removal).

Regards,

Ross

Thanks for your response Ross

Well, indeed what I would like to ask here was a Non Maintainer Upload.
I ain't looking for someone to take over the debian maintenance for 
guitarix,

but just help out by a single upload of the latest version.
I've had all the time a good contact to Roland and
I'm pretty sure that Roland would be fine with a NMU.
Just I wonder why I couldn't reach Roland in the last couple of month,
so I decide to take some action, to force a update of guitarix in debian.
I would love to have the latest version in debian/sid, instead only the 
fixes.

There are a couple of other bug-fixes included in the latest version,
which never get reported to debian, so a update to the last stable version
would be the best solution.

guitarix package in debian

[Hermann Meyer]

Hello

I'm the upstream maintainer of the guitarix project, and I've noticed 
that guitarix is marked as autoremoval in debian/testing because of this 
bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=805666

The bug mentioned above is fixed in upstream since some time, as I'm 
myself been a debian/sid user.


I've tried to reach the debian maintainer (Roland Stigge) of the 
guitarix project for some time now, to no avail.
To avoid the removal, just a new upload of the latest version is needed, 
so I like to ask here, if someone her could do that?
