Hi,
I'm interested in salvaging your package
libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl, in accordance with the Package
Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. I know
you are a member of the Debian Perl Group in principle and wonder,
whether it is just an oversight that your package was maintained in
your private repository. If this is the case for sure feel free to
close this bug.
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:
- Not uploaded for >8 years
- Bug filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- There are QA issues with the package like insecure URIs, old
debhelper compat level, Vcs pointing to alioth (I noticed that
it was correctly redirected but consider to point to Salsa
is better anyway).
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Perl
Group, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If
you choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you
move it to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My
goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd
also be delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could
share your Salsa login.
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] 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
Andreas.
