Package: src:ceph
Version: 12.2.11+dfsg1-2.1
Severity: important
Dear maintainer, dear Gaudenz,
I feel very sorry when I look at the current state of the Ceph package. It
needs a lot more love than right now, and I hope this can be fixed in a
timely maner. In fact, it is the 2nd time that I'm filling this type of bug
in less than a year, the last time was just before the release, and we just
saw a spike of maintainer activity at the very last time so Luminous made it
into Buster.
The package is so much outdated, that in https://bugs.debian.org/940854,
someone is proposing an alternative Debian repository, and I saw at least
2 more of them like this. What we would need is Nautilus uploaded to Sid,
and a backport of it maintained in Buster.
The Ceph package currently is eligible according to the criterias of the
developers-reference and the wiki at:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#package-salvaging
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging#Eligibility_requirements_for_a_package
Indeed:
- there are open RC bugs
- there are missing upstream releases
- there is work needed from a quality-assurance perspective
AND:
- there is the need to upload the package to deal with these issues
AND:
at least one of these criteria applies:
- There is no visible activity regarding the package for six months
At least, the following bugs must be addressed to cancel this ITS:
#936015, #936282, #760538, #940854
Gaudenz, if you can't give enough time for this package, could you consider
relaxing your maintenance policy, and let others do the work? Will you be at
the Vaumarcus mini-debconf, and can we find some time to discuss this around
a beer or something?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Hi Thomas,
I'm closing this bug as I'll upload ceph soon, needs some more fixes to
make lintian and the ftp masters happy and then it is ready.
Btw, you are a member of the ceph team since a year, nobody would have
stopped you from working on the packages at all. You could have prepared
some merge requests in the meantime, if you did not want to commit to
the repository.
Closing this bug as it is not necessary anymore.
Bernd
