Hi Drew,
I know you are perfectly active in Debian Science and DebiChem team
(BTW, thanks for all your work there) and thus I know you care for
packages you consider important for your work. Today gworldclock came
up as a candidate for the Bug of the Day[1]. Usually we file ITS bugs
to move packages to Salsa, fix some bugs and refresh the packaging.
This sounds a bit wrong for some software where you are upstream and
Debian maintainer at the same time and some of the bugs are featuring
statements of yours that some Qt rewrite is pending.
So I was wondering what to do in this case and decided that for the
moment it makes sense to move the package to Git anyway. I've set up a
repository within the salvage-team space[2] to assist you with this
initial setup. We can for sure move it to some other team space -
probably "Debian" is a better fit.
I've fixed the bug that contained a patch. All other bugs are rather
upstream maintenance issues. Even the bug in question (#900864) is
rather better fixed upstream, but we can help the bug reporter by having
a fix uploaded once he spent some time in some non-trivial patch.
If you might be busy with other stuff on your scientific projects I
might wait for 21 days (as per ITS rules and can upload to delayed=10)
to give you a sensible time frame to respond or reject the attempt
to move the package to Salsa.
As mentioned above your package 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.
Kind regards and thanks again for all your valuable work
Andreas.
