Hi
your package llmnrd was amongst the candidates for the Bug of the Day[1]
and thus I had a look into it. While reading the upstream issue
"consider starting as non-root by default in systemd service example"[2]
I stumbled upon the phrase:
"users who have systemd enabled will probably have no need for llmnrd."
Given that Trixi will support systemd only I wonder whether we need this
package at all or whether it rather should be removed.
In case it makes sense to keep llmnrd in Debian I'm interested in
salvaging it, in accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure
outlined in the Developers Reference[3]. Your package meets the
criteria for this process, and I would love to assist in preserving and
maintaining it. As the Salvage process suggests, here is a list of the
criteria that apply, in my opinion:
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being
a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I've set up a repository within the salvage-team space[4] to assist you
with this initial setup. If you decide not to accept the ITS, this
repository can easily be moved to another location, such as debian/, or
any place of your choosing. I hope this service helps make the
transition to using a Git repository on Salsa smoother and more
convenient for you.
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
