If you would still like to do so, please feel free to use my work; otherwise, I would just be as willing to adopt both gnote and these dbus packages. :) - Vincent Cheng -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

All right, so I've successfully *updated* the packaging for both gnote and dbus-c++, and I've uploaded them to mentors.debian.net as instructed by Ana. If any of you would like to look through my work and see if there's any issues, please feel free to do so. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dbus-c++/ http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dbus-c++/ http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnote/ http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnote/Oh, and I'd say that Ana's plan sounds good. ;) - Vincent On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 7:58 AM, Ana Guerrero a...@debian.org wrote: On Thu, Jan 06, 2011 at 07:01:23PM -0800, Vincent Cheng wrote: Just a follow-up...I've found the upstream source for dbus-c++ (turns out I missed its git archive), and I've successfully packaged it.

I'm interested in doing a QA upload to update Gnote to the latest upstream version, and in addition, if you no longer intend to adopt this package, I would be willing to adopt and maintain it myself. Note that gnote is the last thing in the archive using dbus-c++ (not to be confused with libdbus, dbus-cpp or dbus-cxx), which is somewhat active upstream, but has never made a release, and is orphaned in Debian. (Its upstream location has also changed since the last snapshot in Debian.) If you want to adopt gnote, please either try to port gnote to a different D-Bus implementation (GDBus from GLib 2.26+ is probably the way forward), disable D-Bus support, or adopt dbus-c++ (but note that according to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618330 it seems likely to be rather broken).
