Yes, that's the one thing that made me consider continued
maintenance...
I tend to do my part for debian based distros and have reached out to
Howard to help ease his burden. I do not feel qualified to take up
maintainership however.
It doesn't seem like anyone does at this point... *sigh*
Not sure what channels tend to get the most activity in the zoneminder
community, but it might be good to try and actively reach out.
Without an active maintainer, it's just lingering on in Debian
unstable. I've thought about doing "one last upload", but then realised
it's probably more honest to leave it in the current unusable state...
We can certainly do that, I will arrange to do something like that today.
However, let me be more clear about me... I am willing to do it, I'm
just going to need some hand holding at the start. I don't want to break
debian or step on anyone's toes. Perhaps Peter can guide me a bit.
I'd like to say I've got a bit more time in there to do some stuff, but
sadly the record, and reality, says otherwise :-(. Should anyone step
up to become the official maintainer I'm happy to have my name bumped
off, and occasionally throw some help in.
In any event, I will monitor and address issues in the debian bug system
and do my best to make packaging zm as easy as possible.
Right now my ZM setup is completely broken (combination of SW and HW
probs). I really would like to get it running again, and will probably
spend a bit of serious time over Christmas looking at it. If things are
still as they are now, I almost certainly *will* push "one last release"
then.
Peter maybe we can do it together to show me the ropes? I would really
like to get 1.28 in there soon, as 1.26 and 1.27 were both rather poor
showings on our parts.
