I'm nevertheless very interested in getting the package back in shape and would join a team of people interested in team-maintaining backuppc (and probably libbackuppc-xs-perl, too, see https://bugs.debian.org/887491). So if nobody else shows up soon-ish for joining a potential team, I might start fixing issues doing a QA upload, getting the packaging up to current standards, fixing long-standing trivial issues like e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/488098 and creating a packaging git repository under https://salsa.debian.org/debian i.e. the collab-maint successor on Salsa. (Packaging 4.x.y versions is very likely not included in such a first step.) JFTR: I'm a BackupPC user and admin for more than 15 years now (in personal as well as professional surroundings), it's in most cases my primary backup system, and I'm even brave enough to run one soon-to-be production instance on Debian Testing. :-) Regards, Axel -- ,''`. | Axel Beckert <a...@debian.org>, https://people.debian.org/~abe/ : :' : | Debian Developer, ftp.ch.debian.org Admin `. `' | 4096R: 2517 B724 C5F6 CA99 5329 6E61 2FF9 CD59 6126 16B5 `- | 1024D: F067 EA27 26B9 C3FC 1486 202E C09E 1D89 9593 0EDE
