I did a bit of digging on the upstream website and found the upstream author is on Freenode, talked to them and found that there have been commits in 2016: https://github.com/inflex/ripole <pabs3> btw, ripole was proposed to be removed from Debian because a crash bug was reported and folks are assuming that the project is abandoned and insecure <pabs3> in case you want to reply, click the reply links here: https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/cap01qskk4rcv8kkcdezw-pwwvhylv8fidrmk077qjwfkufq...@mail.gmail.com <inflex> Oh, thanks. <pabs3> also, you might want to import all the tarballs to git and put them on github <inflex> they're already on github <inflex> https://github.com/inflex/ripole <pabs3> ah, the web page doesn't link there so I didn't see that <inflex> ja, my fault, only happened recently. <inflex> Would you be able to reply on that thread and direct them to the github page? <inflex> They can then submit the issue and I can try resolve the problem (or someone can submit a patch) <pabs3> sure, do you mind if I quote this conversation? <inflex> That's fine. <inflex> The development has been 'dead' because I've not received any emails/patches for it, and other things have taken priority; or maybe the emails went to spam. Either way, github is now there, so happy to engage :) <pabs3> are you a Debian user? might you be interested in adopting the Debian package? <inflex> I'm actually the evil Ubuntu user :D Never maintained a package myself, is it complex? <pabs3> ah cool. these days it is much less complex, but there will be a learning curve :) <pabs3> https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
