Bug#679699: RM: pppstatus -- ROM; Dead upstream (for many years), little used (2. try)

2012-07-03 Thread Joachim Wiedorn
Hello FTP Masters,

today I have found that pppstatus were removed from the next release and
I am very surprised about this decision - and at the edge of freezing!

I want to reactivate pppstatus and I would overtake upstream development
and maintainance. How is the way to overtake maintainance in this state?
And how is the way to reactivate this package for wheezy?

Have a nice day.

Hello FTP Masters,

now I have seen there is another tool which make (nearly) the same: slurm.
So there is no need to reactivate pppstatus. Sorry for cause trouble.

Well, based upon the last source package, you fix known bugs and improve
the packaging.  When you have a good release ready, you can ask on the
debian-mentors lists for reviews and a sponsor to upload your package to
the archive.

In theory your next step would then be to ask the release team for a
freeze exception, providing them with a diff between the old version and
the new one.  However, they might not accept the introduction of new
packages into the release at that point.


Best regards,
  Alexander
