Hi Mats, for your convenience, I've committed a working watch file for pumpa to the Salvage Team repository on Salsa. You can find it here: https://salsa.debian.org/salvage-team/pumpa/-/blob/master/debian/watch?ref_type=heads Pumpa was highlighted in the Bug of the Day initiative[1], which encourages newcomers to work on manageable tasks and learn the Debian workflow step by step. A major focus of this initiative is migrating packages to Salsa, since that helps contributors get used to a consistent Git-based process. I should mention that I'm not in a position to help much with the open bugs reported against the Debian package, as these seem to be upstream issues, and upstream development appears to have stalled. That said, I believe there is still value in keeping the Debian packaging maintained on salsa.debian.org, since we can modernise the packaging independently of upstream. This approach has worked well in a number of other cases. If you agree, I'd be glad to help move the temporary repository I created in the Salvage Team namespace to a more suitable location. That could be the Debian namespace (where any DD can commit) or your personal namespace, where contributions could come in via MRs-whichever you prefer. Please let me know your thoughts. I hope the improved watch file is a useful enhancement, and I'd be happy to contribute further changes to modernise the packaging if maintaining pumpa on Salsa sounds good to you. Kind regards Andreas.
