Please either do > > 1. merge your repository into collab-maint/jquery-datatables.git Well, the JS policy [1] stating that the repository should reflect the source package name, which according to the policy should have a different name than the one Matthias chose several years ago for his one. But they also state it's not a hard requirement so I guess this is an option. However, I would need to be approved for collab-maint access first. Could you probably help? > 2. if you have no access to collab-maint yet feel free to move > your repository into Debian Med Git *and* ask Matthias for > either removing his repository or cleaning it up from files > and just drop a README.status file pointing to the actively > maintained one Sure, I wanted to get in touch with him anyway. > 3. ask Matthias for either removing his repository or cleaning it > up from files and just drop a README.status file pointing to > the actively maintained one and stay with your private > repository The private repo was just for sponsoring/review to not leave a stray package in the Debian Med area in case I get advised to move it to the Javascript team etc. It definitely was not intended to stay ;) > I'd prefer 1. and 2.
