Hello all, https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/beast https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rapicorn
show that Beast and Rapicorn have been removed from Debian last year. Reading up on the bug reports, it seems that: a) It was assumed the packages are unmaintained upstream; b) a guile-1.8 dependency of Beast was becoming a problem for Debain. (a) is not true, Beast *and* Rapicorn have seen releases and active development in git last year: https://github.com/tim-janik/rapicorn/graphs/contributors https://github.com/tim-janik/beast/graphs/contributors (b) was unknown to upstream, it would have been great if upstream was notified in any way to accommodate. We're now in the process of rolling our own deb packages and apt repository, but ideally that effort would channel back into Debian. Is there a way to find a sponsor for uploads of third-party packages who can provide packaging feedback, or simply a Debian maintainer that bothers enough to actually notify upstream about packaging issues? -- Yours sincerely, Tim Janik https://testbit.eu/timj/ Free software author and speaker. _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
