Hi,

I had a look into this issue since a Debian Med package received a
testing removal warning.  I can confirm the build fails with

   Segmentation fault

in the build time test suite.  I realised that this package is lagging
quite a bit behind upstream and my personal approach would be to do an
upgrade to latest upstream.  However, the package has a number of
dependencies which I have no idea about and thus I'm hesitating to go on
with this idea which takes probably some time to review all the patches.
So for the moment I've just commited the changes of lintian-brush (=
made myself Debian Janitor ;-) )

I've put all developers mentioned as Uploader in CC.  Given that the
last non-team upload was two years ago which might have lead to the
situation that following upstream changes is stalled it would be great
if you confirm that you intend to continue working on this package.

Kind regards

 Andreas.

Bug#1006200: ITP: asdf-standard -- Standards document describing ASDF

2022-02-21 Thread Ole Streicher

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ole Streicher 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-python@lists.debian.org, 
debian-as...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: asdf-standard
  Version : 1.6.0
  Upstream Author : The ASDF Developers
* URL : https://github.com/asdf-format/asdf-standard
* License : BSD-3-Clause
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Standards document describing ASDF

This document describes the Advanced Scientific Data Format (ASDF).
ASDF is a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific
data. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so
successful, by being a hybrid text and binary format: containing
humanditable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast
to load and use. Unlike FITS, the metadata is highly structured and is
designed up-front for extensibility.

It is a build dependency of the asdf-astropy package. I will
maintain it within the Debian Astro team in Salsa:

Best regards

Ole
