-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Henrique,
Yes, I know your name from Tech-Talk... I'd be happy to work with you as a co-maintainer for procServ! All your findings are correct. I never had the intention to drop procServ packaging, but interest from the EPICS collaboration in system packaging has sharply dropped and ITER (which I'm working for since 10 years) is not using procServ nor Debian. A few sessions/workshops at EPICS Collaboration Meetings over the last years showed dwindling support for system packaging. Everyone is moving to containers or using distro-independent packaging (e.g., Conda). With no more pushing from the EPICS community and being swamped with work from my daytime job, procServ packaging ended up on page three of my priority list and stayed there. I am not aware of Martin's pull request on Salsa. Actually, as emails show, I was at the time - but as he left FRIB and the EPICS world, he wasn't there to remind me. I am fully supporting Debian's move towards collaborative maintenance - that's definitely the way to go. Your stepping forward is highly appreciated! My blocker question for a new package version was (in 2019 and still is): What should be done about the Python systemd helper scripts that were contributed? I have zero experience in Python packaging and have never received any community feedback about those scripts. Packaging something that I don't know if it works and I don't know how to package doesn't sound right. Looking at your MR, I see that you didn't package those scripts. Fair enough. Have you considered adding them to packaging? The PGP fingerprint that you found C495 0D86 9EC0 5EA3 F4AB 743B 9CDF 4AF4 569D D158 is correct and refers to the PGP key I am using upstream and with Debian packaging. (Also signing this mail as verification.) Moving the repo to the Debian namespace is certainly fine with me as it will indeed make things easier. Its current location is where it ended up after the move from Alioth. I didn't actively do anything about the location. Please add yourself to the uploaders. Even as I can't promise to spend more time on packaging pro-actively, I'm happy to review and contribute to your efforts.
