Package: wnpp Severity: normal Short story: cvs is no better off with me than without. I'll be here for serious bugs and security issues, but it really needs a new maintainer.
Anyone who has followed the cvs package in the last couple of years knows that it has not been well-maintained, either before or after i adopted it. I noticed that the package was effectively unmaintained and broken in many ways. I took it over, planning to clean up its Debconf abuses and make it a good Debian citizen again. Unfortunately, shortly after taking it over my job changed drastically. I have not had the time to work on Debian stuff that i originally did, and the nature of my job leaves me wanting to stay away from the computer during my precious free time. So, eight months later, the cvs package is in no better shape. I have fixed one trivial problem with the Debconf abuse, but that's it. I have tried to fix the more serious bugs that have come across and tried to close all the bogus ones. I have maintained it in only the purest sense of the word; i have not made one real improvement in the package. Whoever steps forward, please contact me for a tar archive of my CVS repository. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When everyone has to reinvent the wheel, many people invent square wheels."
