Bug#1118538: ITS: jargon-text

Show all headers | View raw

Source: jargon-text
Version: 4.4.7-4.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Paul Martin <pm@debian.org>, 1019283@bugs.debian.org, 914542@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

Hi,

I would be interested in helping with jargon-text, 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:

  - NMU
  - Bus filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be well maintained in the Debian team on
Salsa.  I just followed the suggestion of bug #914542 and created a
repository[2] where jargon-text is created from the same source as
dict-jargon.  


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.
