  • [backintime] I'll package the next release

    From c.buhtz@posteo.jp@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 15 10:00:01 2023
    Hello together,

    I hope different from the past this announcement will work this time.
    Last time I announced the will to package something ("feedparser") but
    someone else did it without communication.

    Back In Time [1][2] will have a new upstream release [3] in the next
    days. I [4] will try to prepare the packaging for Debian this time. The
    next Debian release is minimum 2 years away so I have enough time. ;)

    the DPT isn't the maintainer of this package, you are aware of this?
    Means, I see primarily no work nor action on the side of the DPT that's
    needed to take as the package has a person as Maintainer set.

    Do you have talked to the Maintainer and/or Uploader if they are
    interested in help with any packaging work done by you?
    Not that you not can do this for yourself, but please be not
    disappointed if the Debian Maintainers refuse your packaging work to merge.

    Dear Carsten,

    thanks for your reply.

    DPT = Debian Python Team ?

    Yes I'm aware of this. But to my knowledge the list is not restricted to
    DPT package topics.

    Do you have talked to the Maintainer and/or Uploader if they are
    interested in help with any packaging work done by you?

    The communication is not the most fluent. I'm not sure which kind of
    help he would accept. I'll see.

    I do.

    if the Debian Maintainers refuse your packaging work to merge.

    I expect that. :D

    Thanks for the heads up; I thought you were going to say it had happened
    and I'd missed it :)
    Help appreciated as always, although as an existing package you won't find
    it as exciting as doing something new. I may also get chance while
    travelling next week.

    Thanks,
