Bug#738308: Status of bustle package.
Hello, 2014-02-16 19:36 GMT+01:00 Chris Lamb la...@debian.org: It's maintained under the Debian Haskell Group, as the Maintainer line says. I can't speak for the upload which changed Maintainer (apparently this was Hector's). I'm guessing that Chris just didn't notice or forgot. Sorry if I caused any confusion or extra work. I'm not sure exactly what happened either, but I'm glad it's got a real home these days. I have vague memory about this, but I was talking to Will Thompson, bustle upstream, and we wanted to bring latest version in Debian[0]. Spoke to Chris (or via his brother, Johnny) about it and he was not interested in the package, IIRC, so he hinted me to remove him and add myself, Ian was also interested to get latest upstream version in Debian, so we got the package under Debian Haskell Group. Sorry Chris, this was not an attempt to hijack the package, but getting up to date.

It'll probably still want removing on bsd (no haskell-dbus there), so please feel free to do that if you want. Nope. It has a new build-dependency on haskell-setlocale which has a public-domain license that I'm not sure is right (can you dedicate things to the public domain in Germany, where he seems to be from judging by the email address?). I'll need to follow up with the maintainer there. I'll file the RoQA for kbsd now. Joachim just scheduled the binNMUs.

Bug#738308: Status of bustle package.
While working on cleaning things up in raspbian I took a look at the bustle package in debian. Currently it is uninstallable on all architectures and furthermore it's build-depends are uninstallable on kfreebsd. The package does appear to build successfully on current sid amd64 linux. According to the pts the package is orphaned. As such I was about to file a removal request (roqa) for kfreebsd and a binnmu request for linux myself. However on closer inspection things didn't seem to add up with the orphaning. Chris Lamb made the vast majority of the packages uploads throughout it's history up to and including an upload in mid 2011, Hector oron and Iain Lane made one upload of the package each in 2012 and added themselves to the maintainer list. It would appear that one of them also removed Chris Lamb from the maintainer list but did not make any mention in the changelog that they had done so. Then a week ago Chris Lamb filed a wnpp bug orphaning the package, in the bug he expresses regret at being unable to remove himself from the maintainer list despite the fact he had already been removed. What happened? was Chris unaware of Hector and Iain's uploads? did a mail get stuck in a time warp? should I consider the packaged orphaned or should I consider it to be under the maintainership of Iain and Hector? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
