  • Bug#1066964: O: newlib -- C library and math library for embedded syste

    From Petter Reinholdtsen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 16 08:40:01 2024
    Package: wnpp
    Severity: normal

    The newlib package is orphaned as its last maintianer, Agustin Henze no
    longer find the time to maintain it. I got his approval to orphan it,
    an it is now listing Debian QA Group as the maintainer.

    See <URL: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/newlib > for the details.

    Note, picolib can be an alternative to newlib.

    Control: retitle -1 ITA: newlib -- C library and math library for
    embedded systems

    placing this package under the GCC Maintainers umbrella. Both nvptx and
    amdgcn offload compilers are dependent on this.

    Petter, is there a way to move the VCS on salsa?

    I suspect so, but not sure how. I doubt I have more privileges than you
    in this regard, but could give it a try if you want me to.

    I believe I found the correct locatoin in <URL:https://salsa.debian.org/debian/newlib/edit>, where a new path for
    the project can be specified. I did not test it yet. Do you want to
    move it, or should I give it a try?

    Another and slightly related question, as I suspect moving the git repo
    will remove my write access to it. Do you want to take over my plan to
    fix the security problem in stable as described in
    <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/1066965 >?

    not at all, please go ahead with it.
