Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Hi all,
TL;DR: I'm looking for people to help with packaging the new upstream release of mawk into Debian. Co-maintainers are also welcome. Mawk is an important implementation of AWK and is of Priority: required. However, Debian's mawk hasn't been updated even if there's a new upstream since 2009. You can find some of the new upstream's comments over this issue at https://invisible-island.net/mawk/ . Currently as the new package maintainer, I believe it's necessary to find more co-maintainers and uploaders who are more familiar with AWK than me. Tasks include packaging new upstream releases, testing possible regressions and going through everything currently lying in the Bug Tracking System. The previous work can be found on Salsa packaging repo. I'm open to direct git commits on Salsa and NMUs as long as they do not introduce obvious regression （and break all reverse build-dependencies, a.k.a. almost everything in the archive :-). -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang
