Bug#1133298: ITS: bmagic

Show all headers | View raw

Source: bmagic
Version: 6.3.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Athena Capital Research <acr-debian@athenacr.com>, Roberto C. Sanchez <roberto@connexer.com>, Debian Science Maintainers <debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>, 1043797@bugs.debian.org, 1112757@bugs.debian.org, 1114073@bugs.debian.org, 976517@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>, tille@debian.org

Hi Roberto,

I would be interested in helping with bmagic, following the Package
Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. From what I
see, the package seems to meet the criteria for this process, and I'd
like to support keeping it maintained in Debian. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that I believe apply:

  - RC Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released several versions
  - There are QA issues with the package.


I believe the package would be a great addition to the Science team, and
I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you choose
not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it to
another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is to
make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be
delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share
your Salsa login.

This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
