Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the libept package.
The package description is: The library defines a very minimal framework in which many sources of data about Debian packages can be implemented and queried together. . The library includes four data sources: . * APT: access the APT database * Debtags: access the Debtags tag information * Popcon: access Popcon package scores * The Xapian index built by apt-xapian-index I do not have the energy to maintain libept anymore. #540218 has a plan for gradually replacing it with better options. #677551 has specific details wrt dropping aptitude's dependency on libept, so that it can become a far less critical piece of infrastructure. I'll try to keep libept afloat until it's gone, but I won't be able to do much besides dealing with the occasional FTBFS on toolchain changes, or helping to port client code to use libapt-pkg/libxapian. Help is very welcome to keep on top of the former. Ciao, Enrico -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
