Hi James,
I perfectly understood tat your package utfout does not really fulfill
the ITS criteria outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. Its a tiny
little tool that works (might deserve some enhancement as reported in
#962515).
However your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[2]
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
familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow. This was
mainly the reason why I have touched the package despite I know it does
not really match the ITS criteria and you probably have more urgent
things to do. I hope you might rather consider the effort some helping
hand in modernising the package.
Strictly speaking about ITS we have:
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer (and applied the patch provided in bug #986379)
- There are QA issues with the package - lintian is blaming the
package about old Standards-Version, debhelper compat level, etc.
I've set up a repository within the salvage-team space[3] to assist you
with this initial setup. If you decide not to accept the ITS, this
repository can easily be moved to another location, such as debian/, or
any place of your choosing. I hope this service helps make the
transition to using a Git repository on Salsa smoother and more
convenient for you.
Kind regards
Andreas.
