Greetings. Thanks for your interest in maintaining the libg15render package and for adopting the g15daemon package. Although I don't use g15, I maintain mumble which can optionally use it to support users that have the g15 keyboard. Right now I've had to disable g15 support in mumble because of the package removal that had occurred, but I can re-enable that if it's considered safe to do so.
I'm CC:ing the current maintainer directly in order document them being notified of the ITA. This package IMHO is definitely available for salvage. Just for reference, the Debian Developer's Reference section 5.12.2 suggests normally giving the maintainer 21 days to respond before a salvage upload: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#how-to-salvage-a-package Packaging of libraries is a special category in Debian, and I've never been involved in packaging a library so far, but am interested in how that works, and given what this package is for this library package seems to be of relatively low risk. I'm having another read through the Debian Developer's Reference section 6.7.2 concerning libraries: http://sejnfjrq6szgca7v.onion/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#libraries I see that Andrej Shadura is sponsoring uploads for your work with the g15daemon package; have you checked with him to see if he's comfortable sponsoring uploads for this package? Mainly I'm asking because the packages are related. Thanks -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
