Yes, I am aware of that.

 Are you just uploading a new version of the old magicfilter sources,
 or are you intending to package the new upstream?

For this time, I just uploaded a new revision of the old magicfilter
sources, but I intend to package the v2.x quite soon, since I use low
profile print servers.

Li Daobing has kindly sponsored the package for me.

Hummm, I see that gutenprint is orphaned (or RFA, I forgot) on wnpp. I'm
interested in the ijs plugin to ghostscript so that, dependind on the
architecture of magicfilter 2, I would like to combine those two. Oh,
and lprng too.

(I mention this because I have a very low powered embedded ppc box that
I use as a print server).


Thanks, Rogério Brito.

OK.  gutenprint is still RFA/Orphaned.  I don't have the time to
maintain it during my PhD, and I no longer have an inkjet printer,
so I can't do any real testing.  I'm still looking for a maintainer
or comaintainer if you or anyone else is interested.

It's all in git on collab-maint.

 At the very least, you'll need to properly adopt the package before I'll
 upload it.  I don't sponsor NMUs, and it's quite obvious you're keen to be

Oh, just one thing: this packaging is supposed to be as disruptive as

Also, you may notice that this program was packaged quite a long time

*this* upload. (As you can see, I am quite conservative here).

Dear mentors,

The package magicfilter, a print filter for spoolers like lpr/lprng/etc,
in Debian had some issues (dependencies on nonexistent packages)
since it had not been updated in the last 3 years (according to the
changelog, its last updated was in 2006).

Since I use the package regularly and care about it, I would love to see
it uploaded to Debian and I plan on taking care of it (it is currently
RFA'ed, as said in Bug #176737).

I am, thus, looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.2-60.1 of
magicfilter.

Here is the relevant part of the changelog:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 magicfilter (1.2-60.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Do some QA work, since I care about this package and the current
 maintainer issued an RFA bug (176737).
   * debian/control: revamp the file:

 + replace gs with ghostscript.
 + remove gzip dependency  build-dependency (it's essential).
 + remove dvips nonexistent dependency (dvips is included in texlive).
 + remove libjpeg-gif dependency (nonexistent).
 + add poppler-utils in front of xpdf-utils (the first is more updated).

 If you're planning on adopting the package and becoming the new maintainer,
 then it's not a non-maintainer upload, it's a new maintainer upload.  You
 can also close the RFA bug.

I would like to start small and then grow on the matter. First a fix
here, just to bring the package up-to-date. Then, becoming its
maintainer. Then, revamping the build system. Then, doing further
updates. And so on.

 Beyond that, not knowing anything about the package or it's surrounding use
 cases, I'm probably not the best person to review it, but if you haven't had
 an upload from someone else by mid next week, ping me and I'll
 review/upload.

Ping. :-)

 Thanks for taking care of an aging package, too...

Since I am a minimalist in software (both by necessity and by
preference), I like smaller packages and I have interest in many other
aging packages that seem to be orphaned or RFA'ed.

As you have seen already, David has agreed to let me be package
maintainer. I will probably become one after the new version migrates to
testing (and I can contact the upstream site to download the newer
releases).

 Dear mentors,
 
 The package magicfilter, a print filter for spoolers like lpr/lprng/etc,
 in Debian had some issues (dependencies on nonexistent packages)
 since it had not been updated in the last 3 years (according to the
 changelog, its last updated was in 2006).
 
 Since I use the package regularly and care about it, I would love to see
 it uploaded to Debian and I plan on taking care of it (it is currently
 RFA'ed, as said in Bug #176737).
 
 I am, thus, looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.2-60.1 of
 magicfilter.
 
 Here is the relevant part of the changelog:
 
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
  magicfilter (1.2-60.1) unstable; urgency=low
  .
* Non-maintainer upload.

If you're planning on adopting the package and becoming the new maintainer,
then it's not a non-maintainer upload, it's a new maintainer upload.  You
can also close the RFA bug.

Beyond that, not knowing anything about the package or it's surrounding use
cases, I'm probably not the best person to review it, but if you haven't had
an upload from someone else by mid next week, ping me and I'll
review/upload.

Thanks for taking care of an aging package, too...

- Matt
