Cool. Yeah the "salvaging" procedure is relatively new and it's gone through a few revisions over time. When I had to salvage a package (mumble) in 2014 there was no process for salvaging a package, so it was a lot more effort to adopt it, and it took months. I found out (as I think you have) that sometimes we end up needing to support software ourselves if we want it to function. > I've already put the original maintainer's address into the X-Debbugs-Cc > filed of this report, so he's got a copy of the initial message. > > I'll ask Andrej about sponsorship later, when 21 days have passed. The maintainer replied and he's not against it being adopted (the word "again" was used, but the context makes it clear it was meant to be "against"), so you can proceed at any time. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
