Marius Vollmer [magit] MIA?
Hi, He's the maintainer of the "magit" package, which doesn't seem to have received any attention in a long time. I sent email to him a few weeks ago, but haven't received any reply. Has anyone had contact with Marius Vollmer, or know what's up with the magit package? Thanks, -Miles -- Innards, n. pl.

Bug#598944: RFH: psi-plus - copyrights
Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org At the moment, the sponsor does not want to upload new versions of the psi- plus due to the fact that many files are no disclaimer. I do not have time and desire to work on Stallman, a developer so there are other more important tasks. New versions of psi-plus you can find in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ivan1986/+archive/ppa/ If you have a desire to engage in copyright, the package can be loaded into debian - please, I'm happy to accept any patches. I got Debian's bureaucracy, then it would be spelled out in the copyright and maintainer who will not bother me. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Can a pure Python package be architecture-dependent?
Hello, While considering a possible NMU for #589995, the question (in general) came up whether an otherwise architecture-independent package can be considered architecture-dependent if its features are only supported on specific platforms. As the most simple example, the package contains code that binds the name LOOPBACK to whatever it expects on a given platform. The list of platforms it supports does not include Hurd, and the package therefore does not work there. Additionally, only on kfreebsd, the package requires other packages -- a relationship that cannot be expressed for an architecture-independent package according to Policy 7.1. Policy 5.6.8 says: Specifying a list of architectures or architecture wildcards other than any is for the minority of cases where a program is not portable or is not useful on some architectures. While the specific context is otherwise "any" packages, could this be interpreted to apply to otherwise "all" packages as well? If not, what alternatives are there to indicate that some platforms are not supported? Would a note in the package's description be sufficient? The downsides of changing "Architecture: all" speak against this. However, it should be noted that a situation as presented above should be extremely rare.

Usually it is a good idea to CC the allegedly MIA maintainer (done on this mail). Have you done any of the things suggested by the devref? http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa In this case it looks like he is having trouble finding sponsorship, an update has been waiting on mentors.d.n for a long time: http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/magit.html http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=magit It looks like his initial sponsor (Risko Gergely, CCed) is not very active. Marius if you read this, it is usually a good idea to redirect your RFS mails to -mentors if your sponsor does not answer in a timely manner. And also ask the MIA team if s/he is inactive. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t say an architecture-all package has to work on all platforms - especially vaporware ones. > Additionally, only on kfreebsd, the package > requires other packages -- a relationship that cannot be expressed for > an architecture-independent package according to Policy 7.1. Indeed, in this case you have to make the package architecture-any. Metapackages come as another example requiring this.

Access to the MIA db for non-DDs is usually easy to get via DD. Just ask the MIA team, on a list or on IRC and someone will usually respond to a specific query. > [I'm guessing that MIA queries may often come from non-DDs because it's > the users of a package that are most likely to notice inactivity.] Quite likely, yeah. > I did try to look for activity outside of debian but didn't find > anything recent...
