hdparm needs a new maintainer
Hello, hdparm is a popular package which has been recently orphaned (see #816168). It provides an udeb so it might be needed/useful in the context of debian-installer too. There are multiple reverse dependencies too. There are 4 RC bugs against it and a new upstream release waiting to be packaged. It would be nice if some people could take over the package and bring it back to shape. Ccing debian-mentors since new contributors are likely to follow that list. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hdparm The package description is: Get/set device parameters for Linux SATA/IDE drives. Primary use is for enabling irq-unmasking and IDE multiplemode.

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer
Hi I would like to help. I am an experienced software developer (C/C++) but have no experience in packaging. I don't know if hdparm is hard to package for a newbie mantainer, so If someone can mentor me on that part I would gladly adopt the package.

I'm also interested in helping out. I'm not a DD but have Debian packaging experience. Just not in the context of the larger Debian environment. ...Juerg > Ccing debian-mentors since new contributors are likely to > follow that list. > > https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hdparm > > The package description is: > Get/set device parameters for Linux SATA/IDE drives. > Primary use is for enabling irq-unmasking and IDE multiplemode. > > Thank you, > -- > Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer > > Support Debian LTS: http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html > Learn to master Debian: http://debian-handbook.info/get/ > -- Juerg Haefliger Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Ondřej Surý" * Package name: tideways Version : 4.0.3 Upstream Author : 2009 Facebook, 2014 Qafoo GmbH * URL : http://tideways.io * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : Tideways PHP Profiler Extension The Profiler extension contains functions for finding performance bottlenecks in PHP code. The extension is one core piece of functionality for the Tideways Profiler Platform. It solves the problem of efficiently collecting, aggregating and analyzing the profiling data when running a Profiler in production. NOTE: This is more modern replacement to XHProf (well, at least people who requested this to be packaged have been saying this).

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer
Hi For me it is ok, I am just a newbie in packaging. I have received help from a debian mentor Anibal Montalve Salazar < ani...@debian.org>, but I got no references for gbp (yet another Debian packaging toolchain ? ) what is exactly a collab-maint repository, a Git repo for the package host somewhere ? I am ok with whatever, Plz go ahead creating the repo (if have permissions).
