  • Bug#1101482: ITS: libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 28 09:40:01 2025
    Source: libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl
    Version: 0.12-4.1
    Severity: important
    X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>, Dominic Hargreaves <dom@earth.li>, 1049249@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

    Hi,

    I'm interested in salvaging your package
    libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl, in accordance with the Package
    Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. I know
    you are a member of the Debian Perl Group in principle and wonder,
    whether it is just an oversight that your package was maintained in
    your private repository. If this is the case for sure feel free to
    close this bug.

    Your 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:

    - Not uploaded for >8 years
    - Bug filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
    - There are QA issues with the package like insecure URIs, old
    debhelper compat level, Vcs pointing to alioth (I noticed that
    it was correctly redirected but consider to point to Salsa
    is better anyway).

    I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Perl
    Group, 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.

    Your 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 familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow.

    Kind regards
    Andreas.

    I would prefer to keep this package separately maintained together with
    the rest of the packages closely linked to openguides - it's very
    niche and stable (read: dormant) and I think it'd just be noise for the perl team.

    Good argument. Since we now have some Git repository for this package
    do you think it makes sense to move it somewhere else on Salsa? I
    noticed openguides guides is at
    https://salsa.debian.org/dom/openguides

    It would be perfectly fine for me if you move libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl to your space on Salsa

    https://salsa.debian.org/dom/libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl

    and upload
    what I prepared. Feel perfectly free to take over the authorship
    of the upload in case you want to upload that work.

    In any case it makes sense to move the repository away from
    perl team.

    Agreed, can you send me a pull request for the improvements prior to
    removing the perl team fork?

    Thanks
    Dominic

    Since the MR is a bit different from the one in Perl team (Maintainer, Vcs-fields, quilt patch unapplied) I've created a new fork. You can
    find the MR at

    https://salsa.debian.org/dom/libwiki-toolkit-plugin-diff-perl/-/merge_requests/2

    Thanks a lot for your cooperation
    Andreas.
