Source: opus-tools
Version: 0.1.10-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I intend to salvage the package "opus-tools", for the following reasons:
- a new upstream release of "opus-tools" has been available for some
years:
- 0.2 (in 2018) [#910261]
- no visible packaging activity for 1942 days
- the last upload by the current maintainer was 2017-01-23
- there has been an NMU upload on 2022-02-03 to a serious FTBFS bug
[#965759], that has gone unacknowledged so far.
- there are 2 open wishlist bug reports since 2018-04-10
not a single bug report has seen *any* reaction from the current
maintainer. neither has [#965759] (which is no longer open, as it
was closed by the aforementioned NMU]
I'm aware that the maintainer of "opus-tools" does not usually want to make
packaging changes without specific reasons, but I don't think that this
allows for completely ignoring open bug-reports of severity SERIOUS for
more than 1½ year.
I'm happy with co-maintaining the package (although my stance at
maintenance is definitely more aggressive with regard to updating to the
latest and greatest source format, dh-compat and the like).
I would more than welcome maintenance of the package under the
multimedia-team umbrella.
it would be great to hear something from the current maintainer of
"opus-tools".
cheers
