Re: [gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs: x11-misc/lightdm-mini-greeter and x11-misc/xautolock
Hi Orbea, My time availability is somewhat constrained at the moment, but, also given Hans's response to my email, happy to assist or even co-maintain.

Doesn't look like much work was required since I use xautolock and am willing to look at any pressing build issues if they arise. I'm still using this - you have moved to wayland so no longer a problem for you. From the referenced bug report it looks like there isn't much "care" for the package any more? Assuming m...@scarlet.be is no longer responsive either? From commit 0da382f0a5c38cce6e70a3724471a6c7981730d7 it looks like there's some possible compile/build issues. This commit talks about how using imake is problematic and while I entirely agree with that, it may not be trivial to write a new build system. I'll take a look later if I find time and motivation. Kind regards, Jaco

I think it is very unlikely that new versions will be released, so the only maintenance would be fixing compilation issues or incompatibilities that may appear in the future. There was never a trigger for me to really investigate that package further, so I can't tell you much about its details. Hans signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
