Bug#1150831: ITS: libcatalyst-plugin-compress-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libcatalyst-plugin-compress-perl
Version: 0.5-1.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, 1134778 at bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>, tille at debian.org

Hi Alexander,

I would be interested in helping with libcatalyst-plugin-compress-perl,
following the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers
Reference[1]. From what I see, the package seems to meet the criteria
for this process, and I'd like to support keeping it maintained in
Debian. As the Salvage process suggests, here is a list of the criteria
that I believe apply:

  - NMU
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released new version
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be a great addition to the Debian Perl
group, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2].


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.
