Hi Community, Is there anyone here who would actually bother (n)acking if I were to propose orphaning, say, yorick-cubeview (assuming it was not one of mine)? If I were to suddenly disappear from the scene, I 'd be quite happy if just one DD would care enough to orphan it for me, not to mention adopting... Besides, orphaning is just a stage in the lifetime of a package. It's not like it will need to see a shrink for the rest of its life to deal with abandonment issues. The *original* maintainer can very easily adopt it back, the same day or the next month. So yes, I say long silence from the entire community *including the package maintainer(s)* probably means it's safer to orphan the package than not. I would probably send a few pings during the one month period though. I would also be careful during vacation periods, especially if the maintainer is not a DD and therefore can not easily announce VAC. Regards, Thibaut. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQiO90AAoJEJOUU0jg3ChAEJoP/0fchAceVsgMfZ0Zwo1ixzYk jPwXegTtxDGOBJ2ZrYJPYNRNv6I8pjDo4w64yK7kswgf4i3ryfuS7smHTobySETH EMuOkS5CV2c4Ljo9icKZmygkgo5rcMcx6OGbURkz0EcnaPHIglAssi8FkZ734aL7 uMPDX+ASyGFcBoY/D/5rRBErEQLDa5c2kSgqr7C4sWLP/ddF4Vsw0lUBGnmtkbJ3 JUKKI82H8JhMqeERIys75Oq1jMXC+ZXikbUJWP2Z7sKVHjTAFD5HvbK1uQh6J/l/ 6siKZdnfwb6KyrATQUld6wdwUwZVttP5XPq6PK+YTO0tUUrntEDYAcDWUkyD6cy8 huXZc3dmOOF1Ns8fDFTxUgHPg9OHtH17U2bRSletPhEIYdKS82/vyLis+3WEpd6c 3sIXS3nibroFlcN12JtHtMaVuaZkG2F4AbDkvOFOETV326QlUvrKZf0dYMiIWNK4 5boErI4Pp7VceOvKv1WYlXPEzPyd1v8AFnMao8ZbYKB/jXLkdmIgRCO2JI6yPHT7 DqWOXaJK1AlZN51ojtePwkqp6S0rFJ/eAH7hNtYljFwePcYu2xjokTflt3rX7CDk WJFpW7lkhm3l3H9jHnF7wDXVsWhv1QBCukp0kB8kzw+vwOaOzSxyDFoIYRB93+3s tsXfoBTij5KATcz/Cy/m =zPJe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
