[Pkg-freeradius-maintainers] Bug#868041: Bug#868041: freeradius: jessie-backports available

[Michael Stapelberg]

Thanks for providing the repository. Two things I noticed:

1. It looks like you didn’t use git-revert for reverting the commits, or at
least you didn’t retain the original commit id. Doing so would make it a
little more clear what happened, and hence would make future updates easier.

2. It seems like you wrote your debian/changelog entry by hand. Do you know
about the https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/devscripts/dch.1.en.html tool?

Now, both of the above items are nitpicks, of course :). Overall, the git
branch looks fine.

Would you want to maintain this backport? You could become a Debian
Maintainer (DM), see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer. The process
should be fairly quick and easy. Then, we could grant you permission to
maintain this package in backports.

I’m asking because I have all hands full with the non-backports freeradius
maintenance already. So, unless someone steps up and commits to the
additional maintenance effort, I’m afraid I don’t have the capacity to move
this along.

Thanks!
