Hi Bartosz,
The package redet was highlighted today as the Bug of the Day[0]. This
initiative 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 help newcomers
become familiar with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Typically the query finds packages of maintainers that are not very
active any more. However, this does not seem to be true in your case
since I realised you are actively maintaining several packages and you
are also using Salsa for these packages. So my guess is that you simply
have put your energy on other things than this software which is not
maintained upstream any more.
Thus I'm wondering if you prefer if the Salvage team might salvage the
package redet, in accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure
outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. This package meets the
criteria for this process, and I would love to assist in preserving and
maintaining it.
I've set up a repository within the salvage-team space[2] 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.
Just let me know what option you might prefer and I'd happily follow
your suggestion.
BTW, I have manually closed bug #1007642 which actually caused the
package to show up since the package was converted to source format 3.0
in some previous NMU.
Kind regards
Andreas.
