-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 A bit over a week ago I filed RC bug #1063142 against tiny-initramfs, because it failed to build working initrds for default Debian installations. I supplied a patch in the bug report and after a few days I uploaded a NMU with that patch to Mentors. Yesterday, the NMU was uploaded to DELAYED/5 by Tobias Frost. There are multiple open non-RC bugs. The oldest without maintainer interaction is #976881, filed in December 2020. Christian Seiler is also the upstream maintainer. His last activity at https://github.com/chris-se/tiny-initramfs dates back to 2016. According to https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/christian%40iwakd.de/ Christian Seiler has not been active at all in Debian since 2021, so I'm CC'ing this ITS to the MIA team. In 2022 I opened bug report #1018290 and I also opened 2 upstream pull requests for new features on Github, both without response. I want to fix that bug and I'm looking into fixing at least #976881 and #983121. I also want to merge my and others' upstream pull requests. To do that I want to salvage this package, fork the upstream repository, and switch this package to the forked upstream. I have made a start at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tiny-initramfs/-/tree/wip/its and https://github.com/viccie30/tiny-initramfs. Christian: Thanks for creating and maintaining tiny-initramfs. If you don't want me to salvage tiny-initramfs, just let me know. You're welcome to use or discard any of the changes I've prepared so far. - -- Vriendelijke groet, Kind regards, Victor Westerhuis - -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64 Kernel: Linux 6.6.13-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en_US:en:nl_NL:nl Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAEBCAAxFiEE6OxII3T+o0Ujs6ECQz2Rq5dHQPsFAmXM1hITHHZpY3RvckB3 ZXN0ZXJodS5pcwAKCRBDPZGrl0dA+8Y0EACHP9Fe+2i+ZtV+eKjGnOTBlOF3jNt0 b4/+2xF0OcGAwEOEjIaSCDFTu1n3pRUtTuhOCwLzkU/IayDvpyzhVFJ5a40MATjJ sqmc6bj8O049bUUiPpH7kXfo0KYzkspzQ3Gu5hkaqMjYNz1xAvOy/KT7xBEXeVo5 pSZL4ZLUEI22fe5LOdlF/qPFL/Rr6H8bh4RMEqBI0gYZc1a0ofXtNKucEzfUsa8d TIvnqWwiooA3Q7Slw0a0SuGtmsj12q2qLtBK0lF9OlxY54TIgXJBGh0p9RHAU2iN 96hD+CI4+Q3ENoXaefZnbPfySm2J/sF9pQiKHlMHdbQOfieHlzvqrtxjqiLB5LYu 0ly69HYFvFqFNo5yEMKqkr7lb+WPHAU/Pz0kjhu6LrImOOTDnLtq2Pomktk8JHJw F4hhJqvSENWjOfAPCRosW66Ci/rfOJdhRBRGrSDYPNTgr6PhePRS8QV/CTJWPQgj UzQdmFiaomPFdNlwbFOy2speeqT0VJ2g0eXtwdaC2uikhXx7aVaxaYxl2M7kc0Ra e4lh7IRVIiUBT5vxzBnGOLR1YGAZMHCNbb2cJIOZM+qoGDzPVr+COLSUdQ2LVF1g V79SqakA+xPTQOGfLbJtmWu8GTXup9iYqGmby4xXdoJjwx6F+2ytkEtCcSb6imoh KnqQe7ccnPWc0w== =ov7w -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
