Source: bls-standalone Version: 0.20151231 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Bernhard R. Link <brl...@debian.org>, 988...@bugs.debian.org, Paul Wise <p...@debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>
Hi Bernhard, your package bls-standalone was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] 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. Usually we file Intend To Salvage bugs[2] if we move some package from no VCS to Salsa. Your package clearly does not fit the ITS criteria and there are no bugs open that urgently need attention. However, the topic of this package is Debian QA and its referencing bls from Paul Wise (in CC). For this reason I consider it helpful to have the package maintained on Salsa. There are quite a number of wishlist bugs and having the repository of this native package in Git on Salsa might motivate developers to contribute. (BTW, the bug tagged patch is fixed in Git.) Thus I've took the freedom to set up a repository within the QA team space[3] to assist you with this initial setup. I'm not sure whether this is the best final location - maybe debian/ team space is a good fit as well and surely this can be moved. I hope this service helps make the transition to using a Git repository on Salsa smoother and more convenient for you. If your time might be limited and you have no capacity to upload the change despite you agree with the new location in principle I can happily do some team upload to announce the new Vcs location (and close bug #988265). Kind regards Andreas.
