Bug#1116688: ITS: cadencii

[Andreas Tille]

Source: cadencii
Version: 3.3.9+svn20110818.r1732-6.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu) <paulliu at debian.org>, Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, 1105251 at bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi,
 
I'm interested in salvaging the package cadencii, 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.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
 
I believe the package fits somehow into the Java team since there might
be sufficient competence in solving Java issues.  Past changelog show
that Java team members were involved to solve upgrading problems to more
recent JVMs.  Thus 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.
