This was perhaps an unfair assessment.  Things are moving smoothly
upstream now, and I am more optimistic.

Of course! :-) I'm still waiting to hear back from the Debian Borg
Collective though...

IIRC the blocker months ago was either related to the Python 3.8
transition, or to strange errors with QDarkStyle.  I haven't filed an
ITP for QDarkStyle, because I believe that the behaviour it enables is
not what most users expect.

Best,
Nicholas

P.S. I suspect this ITP will take a while to resolve, because the
upstream is very much in the "release a standalone bundle with
everything vendored" camp..

Hi Varac,

I'll take care of this one since a member of my family now needs this
software (likely ETA: less than a week, plus waiting for it to clear NEW)


I'd like to put Vorta under Debian Borg Collective maintenance rather
than just under Salsa namespace.  ACK?

Best,
Nicholas

P.S. Why not the PAPT?  Upstream plans to rewrite Vorta in Golang

Hi Nicholas and others,

Did you make any progress on this ITP?

It seems like your team would be the best place for Vorta, because
Vorta may be sensitive to breaking changes introduced by Borg
upgrades.  At this time I'm not sure how likely this is or how often
it would occur.  If you don't want this package on your team then I'll
maintain it in the PAPT.  Oh, and of course I'm willing to join the
Borg Collective!

Regards,
Nicholas

Hi Varac,

I'll take care of this one since a member of my family now needs this
software (likely ETA: less than a week, plus waiting for it to clear NEW)
