Hello! I'd like to pick up maintenance but I'm not a DD/DM (yet). However, I could help the new maintainer with the package as I'm doing with mingw-w64 packages.
Anyway, I'd like to ask you to push missing commits into the repository to keep it in sync with d/changelog (this clause is also stated in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/softether-vpn). пн, 22 дек. 2025 г. в 13:48, Andrej Shadura <[email protected]>: > > Hello, > > On Tue, 07 Feb 2023 14:23:55 +0100 "Andrej Shadura" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I packaged SoftEther VPN back in 2020 when people in Belarus protested > > against decades of dictatorship, and they needed a safe way to communicate > > with the outside world and with each other, circumventing the state > > censorship. > > > > Since then, due to a massive crackdown on protests and repressions against > > anyone remotely involved, most of my friends have moved abroad, and I, > > personally, don't know a single user of this VPN right now.
