Many thanks for your offer and your are welcome to help for this.

I had forgotten to post a status update on this particular work item: the
work is essentially done, I'm just seeking a Debian developper (I'm not)
to upload the new package to the Debian archive and grant me access for
further uploads.

Thanks,

Alex



Bug#1055329: Offer of support/assistance

2024-01-24 Thread Jeremy Davis

Hi Alexandre,

My name is Jeremy and I'd like to offer you my support and assistance in 
your efforts to package and maintain AdminerEvo if that's of any use to you?


FWIW I am a core developer in a Debian derivative project named TurnKey 
Linux[1][2].


[1] https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/TurnKeyLinux
[2] https://www.turnkeylinux.org/

We currently use Adminer (as packaged by you) in many of our "software 
appliances" - e.g. our LAMP appliance[3].

I only just realised that upstream seems to have abandoned it and I 
finally managed to find my way here...


For background and context, as part of my role in TurnKey, I maintain an 
apt repo[4] for our custom packages.

I'm certainly no packaging expert and have never been involved in formal 
Debian packaging before. My plan has always been to get more involved in 
Debian packaging and perhaps even bring some of our custom packages into 
Debian too. Unfortunately, I've never made the time (we're a small team 
with 100+ appliances)...


I must admit that my packaging knowledge is quite adhoc, with lots of 
gaps I am sure. Also, maintaining our own repo (and never being involved 
with official Debian packages) means that I probably have some bad 
practices...


Helping an experienced maintainer with a single package such as this, 
seems like a good way to learn the ropes and contribute something back 
directly to Debian.


So if you are open to and/or desire some assistance, I'd be glad to help 
(and learn a bit...). If not, that's fine too.


Take care and thanks for your contributions to Debian.

Warm Regards,
Jeremy
