Package: testdisk Severity: important X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Dear maintainer, I intend to salvage the testdisk package, following the package salvaging process described in the Developer's Reference, section 5.12, and https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging The package appears to meet the salvaging criteria: * The last maintainer upload was 7.1-5 (2019). All uploads since then have been NMUs. * Previous NMUs were not acknowledged by a maintainer upload. * Bug #807095 (splitting PhotoRec/QPhotoRec into separate binary packages) has been open since 2015. * A new upstream version (7.3-WIP) is available and unpackaged. The plan I intend to follow as new maintainer: * Continue packaging in Salsa and modernize it (Standards-Version, current lintian warnings). * Split the binary package to close #807095. * Continue packaging next releases. If you are still interested in maintaining testdisk, please reply as soon as possible within 21 days and I will happily step back, and I hope this did not cause any trouble. After that, I can proceed with a salvage upload via sponsors after the waiting period, as per the process. Thanks for all the previous work on testdisk! Best,Juan
