I'm basically Ccing half the world in this (only half sorry about that :) and I
don't know who half
of you are :), but there have been very little information on what's happening
with ZoL in Debian
GNU/Linux.
Aron (and in some part Carlos) seems to have gone a-wall and the list have been
VERY quiet. It seems
like it's only Aron and me that is actually Debian GNU/Linux Developers (unless
other things have
happened outside the list that I'm not aware of - Carlos was/is a maintainer if
I don't
misremembering and Darik is in the wait queue?). And no actually status
information/reason from the
FTP maintainers about why it have been stuck in incoming for so long (accepted
into incoming Sun, 07
Jul 2013 16:00:06 - that's more than six months ago!). Have it been rejected?
Is it held up for some
reason? What can I/we do to help move it along?
I'm now the current Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy package maintainer (and have been
for quite some time)
for/in ZoL ("upstream" from Debian GNU/Linux I suppose) and I have contributed
to both the packaging
(that is already in the Alioth repos) as well as bits and pieces to ZoL code
(such as SMB and iSCSI
support - which will be accepted into post-0.6.3 which is due out "very soon
now" we hope) and also
wrote support for ZoL to be used as installation target (debian installer,
part-man) etc.
With that - I have a large vested interest in maintaining this and I work on it
almost daily, so if
no one else have the time (Aron, Carlos)....
I know that Darik is also very busy working on this, and he already maintain
(and have for a very
long time) the Ubuntu packages in ZoL, and much (most, all?) of the current
packaging is from his
busy hands.
So I'd prefer to work with him on this (if aron/carlos don't have the
time/interest that is - I'm not
proposing to steal the packaging!).
Since there have been next to no progress in the Debian GNU/Linux ZoL projects,
I have done all my
packaging stuff in the ZoL repos, so if/when this project is revitalized, I'll
push all my work to
the Debian GNU/Linux repos as individual commits.
