retitle 391473 O: systemimager -- Automate GNU/Linux installs and upgrades over a network thanks
Its been nearly a year since I filed this bug requesting an adopter for the systemimager package. I'd hoped to attract one or more developers who were willing to work with me for a few releases before taking over ownership of the package to assure a smooth transition - its becoming clear that this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. There has been some work towards packaging a newer release, mostly from Geoffroy Vallee. This work is available on upstream's svn server, though in a separate repository from the upstream code: http://svn.systemimager.org/ svn://svn.systemimager.org/svn/systemimager-debian/trunk There has also been some work in the upstream repository to make it possible to build debs directly. I haven't reviewed that code at all, so I can't say anything (negative or positive) about the quality. There have been requests by a maintainer to take over this package. I've politely objected before, given the absence of any patches or evidence that this maintainer would work well with the existing contributors/upstream. I still hope whoever takes over this package takes a look at the pre-existing work from Geoffroy and others and tries to keep an open dialog with upstream, but at this point the packages have grown too stagnant for me to continue standing in the way to try and guarantee this. Of course, I still plan to remain active in the Debian community and I'm quite happy to answer questions/consult with whomever takes over this package. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
