I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.0~beta2-1
of my package "krecipes".
It builds these binary packages:
krecipes - recipes manager for KDE
krecipes-data - recipes manager for KDE - data files
krecipes-doc - recipes manager for KDE - documentation
Krecipes is a KDE application designed to manage recipes. It can help you to
do your shopping list, search through your recipes to find what you can do
with available ingredients and a diet helper. It can also import or export
recipes from files in various format (eg RecipeML or Meal-Master) or from
databases.
The package appears to be almost (see below) lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 473367, 478030, 513860
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/krecipes
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/krecipes/krecipes_1.0~beta2-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
I have to give you some background information. Maintainer for
krecipes is actually "Debian KDE Extras Team
<pkg-kde-ext...@lists.alioth.debian.org>". Unfortunately, this is list
is mostly dead except from forwarded messages from BTS or PTS. A
number of mails I (and others) sent there got no response.
Krecipes has not been maintained for over 2 years and the MIA team has
requested the removal of the only Uploader a couple of months ago
(#513860). Therefore, I would consider krecipes effectively orphaned,
allthough not officially. Are there any formal steps I should
undertake to take over maintainership for this package?
I would really appreciate if someone could either help me to get my
krecipes package into Debian.
I am just not quite sure whether it is OK to hijack a package like
that from an unresponsive packaging team. Should I ask QA to orphan
the package?

Matthias,
Let me ask about it, it seems reasonable to orphan it.
Thanks,
Barry deFreese
