[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1109595: ITS: visolate

[Andreas Tille]

Source: visolate
Version: 2.1.6~svn8+dfsg1-1.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 695207 at bugs.debian.org, 797672 at bugs.debian.org, Debian Electronics Team <pkg-electronics-devel at alioth-lists.debian.net>, Christian M. Amsüss <chrysn at fsfe.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi,
 
I'm interested in salvaging the package visolate, in accordance with the
Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
This package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:
 
  - NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being
    a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
 
I believe the package would be a great addition to the Electronics team,
and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you
choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it
to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is
to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be
delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share
your Salsa login.
 
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which.
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
 
Kind regards
    Andreas.
