Unless someone objects, I suggest that you push to the real sssd git project instead of your fork. There seems to be nobody else actively working on it anyway.Yes please! Add me as well, please.What is your Salsa username? I'm not sure how I got maintainer access to the project, so I hope I'm not abusing it by inviting you and others who express interest. Any improvements to the 'sssd' package seems useful though, so pending any objections, let's just proceed. My focus in the sssd-team has been the *-wrapper packages because I use them personally.
;-)
There is also a NMU announcement by a new DD, please get in touch with them as well to consider adding them to the team.Do you have a pointer? Wasn't that 'sunweaver'?
Or someone else? That'd be interesting.
What do you think about moving all of these projects into the /debian/ Salsa namespace?Yes please. A possible reason for NOT moving is that sssd is somewhat security related and we might not want joe random DD to push to debian/latest. That's at least the reason why sudo is not in the /debian/ Salsa namespace.
Valid aspect, Marc.
Yeah, I understand this concern, however I think it is weak: if someone abuses the powers, the rest of us 1) can clean up the mess by force-pushing restoring things, and 2) that person will have burned their credibility on Salsa. I'm hoping the social pressure to behave will be sufficient. But there is no rush on this, let's see how team-maintainance can work going forward.
Yeah. No rush is probably good.
We could also change the Maintainer field to some group with more participators, such as the pkg-security or Debian Commons teams. Both changes may bring more new contributors, as more people will be able to commit improvements and/or feel entitled to work on sssd-related projects.I'd prefer Maintainer: Debian SSSD Maintainers <[email protected]> and named Uploaders.
+1 from me, too.
But everything that moves in any direction is better than just staying with the current state.Indeed. I don't care strongly about any of these packages, and I am happy people step up to help, so just want to promote that.
Doing so, currently. ;-) Mike -- mike gabriel aka sunweaver (Debian Developer) mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4351) 486 14 27 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: [email protected], http://sunweavers.net
