Package: lsof Version: 4.89+dfsg-0.1 Severity: important
I intend to take over maintenance of the lsof package, unless I hear from the maintainer. There is currently an open RC bug (#916160) that is fixed in newer upstream releases. I emailed a backported fix for the RC bug 3 weeks ago (also with an offer to help co-maintain or take over the package), but haven't heard back. In addition, the last lsof upload from the maintainer was in 2009 (version 4.81-1). There have been various new releases since then, with 3 separate NMUs (4.81+dfsg-1.1, 4.86+dfsg-1, and 4.89+dfsg-0.1). The latest upstream version is 4.91. I've relied on lsof for a very long time, and would like to see it well-supported in Debian. As described in https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#idm1880, this bug is open for comments and objections for 21 days. If there are no objections, I plan to upload the latest version of lsof to the DELAYED queue and officially take over the package. Thanks, Andres
