Package: wnpp Severity: normal I took over the Debian gzip package on 2 December 1995, which means that as of today, I've taken care of it for 25 years! The package is in good shape, though a number of bugs have accumulated over the years that I have neither the time nor motivation remaining to address... so, like some other packages I've maintained for a long time, I've decided to offer the gzip package for adoption.
Because this is a 'required' package, and has a special variant needed for at least one Debian installation method, I would like to suggest that anyone considering taking over the package have a look at the current sources and open bug reports first, then reach out to me for a conversation before making a commitment to take over the package.
