I just took a look at the current version in Debian, and it's to be removed soon due to lack of maintenance there (see http://bugs.debian.org/529817 for details). Are you willing to look after this package, preferably in Debian as well?

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

OK, I can own maintenance of verlihub package. What I need to do?

[Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch)]

Firstly by replying to that bug in Debian & probably getting the OK from the security team that this new version isn't full of holes, and with the current maintainer seemingly not around, it shouldn't be hard to adopt the package & get the new version sponsored through mentors.debian.net. As long as this all gets done within the next 7-8 weeks we can then sync the version you get into Debian.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

OK, but I guess that Ubuntu can accept 0.9.8e package and Debian can wait for new maintainer, right?

[Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch)]

Sorry for the delay, I went to Sourceforge to get the upstream tarball & saw that they have a bugfix version 0.9.8e-r1 released, would you be able to update the packaging to this latest version & resubscribe the sponsors team? From the look of the upstream changelog, any changes you have to make should be minimal.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

I'm on a holiday for 2 weeks. When I back I'll make a new package.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

Artur, feel free to adopt the package before it gets removed. I won't have time to maintain it so it would be nice to have someone looking at it again.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

this package has been removed from Debian, so I don't see the point to keep having it on Ubuntu. Popcon says clearly that verlihub's users prefer to have it not-packaged so they can build it by their own hands, maybe for setting up some particular options. What do you think?

[Andrea Veri (av)]

removing u-u-s as subscriber for now.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

I think that my package can be included yet to karmic. I can get own maintenance of verlihub, so in 10.04 package should be synced from debian.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

as I said this package has been removed from Debian already. If you wanna keep maintaining it on Ubuntu, feel free to do it!

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Artur - thank you for your work. However, after looking at the upstream changes in the new version, I think this update will probably require a Feature-Freeze exception (as we are in Feature Freeze now). The Feature Freeze exception process is detailed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess . Would you mind taking a look at that?

Thanks

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

sorry, but -1 from me here at this time in the cycle, as it was removed from Ubuntu as well, and hence would need to be treated as new package.

I'd suggest to start maintaining this package in Debian, that way we could sync it for karmic+1.

(marking as invalid, please upload to revu, as this falls now under the catagory of a new package).

Cheers,
    Stefan.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

@Stefan,

this package shouldnt be re-uploaded into Debian again, it would make no sense. Looks like users prefers to build / install it manually to enable any eventual feature. The popcon reported 30 installations in Debian, so I would suggest to not re-introduce this package again into the archive.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

Hmmm, maybe should packaged with options/flags which are usually using by users? And include package verlihub-plugins.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

problems is there all multiple builds flags / options that could be used and you know, we cannot build a package with different build options in it. So, it's up to you, but my suggestion is to not re-introduce it into the archive.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

I agree on -1 for now. I'd be willing to reconsider if it gets back in Debian and we could sync it from there.
