(Re-sending to everyone as suggested by Hefee, unmodified)


Hi Hefee, thanks for your reply!


I know from a more distant past that Debian packaging standards are very high and that doing it right can require a lot of reading and commitment. I'm dancing at too many parties already including libexpat upstream and 60+ packages in Gentoo where I did bump KDbg packaging to 3.1.0 already [1] as an approved non-maintainer upload [2] — the package is owned by the KDE team in Gentoo. I cannot take the duty of keeping this package up to date in Debian also, I'm a happy user of Debian on my work notebook but I'm a visitor in Debian, my home is elsewhere.

I repaired KDbg Debian packaging because I felt it mattered a great deal to be back in Debian and keep users away from starting to install .deb files manually for security, to not effectively teach them that was okay and normal and secure; I helped KDbg upstream with two bugs and introduced CI and I'm happy I did that as a fun short-term side project, but I will need to retreat to where I came from. That is why I am looking for someone to take over this low-cost and low-maintenance Debian package from here. I am happy to help with a smooth handover as needed but I cannot commit to duties in Debian after handover. Thanks for your understanding.

PS: I'll be attending 37c3 in case a face-to-face on the topic with you or another member can help in some way.

PPS: Neither your nor my reply went through pkg-kde-t...@lists.alioth.debian.org . Should we do anything to let the other team members know that and what we spoke?

Best



Sebastian
