I hope you take good care of yourself, and please don't feel pressured to work on this package just because of my message. >> I have a friend (who is also my namesake) who is interested in >> having towncrier in the archive.

Thanks, I really appreciate it, but as I said, please don't feel like you need to do that. Sérgio Cipriano is interested in helping with the package (he is still learning, but I can attest that he's good and picks things up really fast), so if you want to give us the lay of the land we can take it from here, no problems. Otherwise, if you feel like finishing the package, please know that you can ping us if you need any help! Thank you very much. Take care! -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible https://sergiodj.net/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I'm writing to check on the status of the towncrier package. I noticed that you have an apparently complete package on https://salsa.debian.org/bignose/pkg-towncrier, but it hasn't been uploaded and I can't find why. I have a friend (who is also my namesake) who is interested in having towncrier in the archive. Maybe you can give us/him some pointers on the current status of the package so that he can help you with it?

Package: wnpp Owner: Ben Finney Severity: wishlist * Package name: towncrier Version : 19.2.0 Upstream Author : Amber Brown and Contributors * URL or Web page : https://pypi.org/project/towncrier/ * License : Expat Description : compiler for project news file Towncrier is a utility to produce useful, summarised news files for your project. Rather than reading the VCS history as some newer tools do, or having one single file which developers all write to, towncrier reads “news fragments” which contain information *useful to end users*. . towncrier delivers the news which is convenient to those that hear it, not those that write it. . That is, a “news fragment” (a small file containing just enough information to be useful to end users) can be written that summarises what has changed from the “developer log” (which may contain complex information about the original issue, how it was fixed, who authored the fix, and who reviewed the fix). By compiling a collection of these fragments, towncrier can produce a digest of the changes which is valuable to those who may wish to use the software. -- \ “Often, the surest way to convey misinformation is to tell the | `\ strict truth.” —Mark Twain, _Following the Equator_ | _o__) | Ben Finney signature.asc Description: PGP signature
