Source: libestr Version: 0.1.10-2.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Pierre Chifflier <pol...@debian.org>, Michael Biebl <bi...@debian.org>
Greetings, hereby I declare my intention to salvage the "libestr" package using the procedure described in the Developer's Reference (5.12) and the Debian Wiki <https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging>. Criteria are met as follows: * The package is in clear need of some love and care: * There is a (recommended) upstream release missing, cf. <https://bugs.debian.org/912419>, filed 31 Oct 2018. * There is work needed from a quality-assurance perspective as the packaging uses outdated / deprecated standards, cf. <https://lintian.debian.org/sources/libestr> AND * An upload is needed to fix this. AND * At least one to the following applies (non-applicable omitted): * There is no visible activity regarding the package for six months. Attempting to elicit a maintainer response failed, cf. <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912419#10> ff. * The last upload was an NMU and there was no maintainer upload within one year. Last maintainer upload was on 2016-04-18, last NMU (and package update) on 2017-10-09. My objective is to have this package in Debian, and in good shape. So if you (maintainer) want to resume taking care of it, please do. And in case you object or already have other plans, just let me know. As this package is a direct dependency of rsyslog and is also coming from the same upstream I'm CC'ing the rsyslog maintainer who might have something to say on this (and who, incidentally, had also filed the bug mentioned above). Kind regards, Flo
