I intend to orphan the barcode package ( https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/barcode ).
Others are free to adopt it. The packaging status itself is stable and clean,
and upstream is not very active.

The package description is:
 GNU-barcode can create printouts for the conventional product-tagging
 standards: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, ISBN, and several others. Output is
 generated as either Postscript, Encapsulated Postscript, SVG, or PCL.

I intend to adopt the `barcode` package. It is currently orphaned, and I plan to maintain it.

Hi,

about a year ago, you expressed interest in maintaining barcode in Debian.

However, you did not adopt the package with your upload of 0.99-9.

Are you still interested in maintaining barcode in Debian?

Cheers,

Hi,
I just don't know how to adopt it, closing this ticket will do it?

In short: You need to upload a new version with yourself as Maintainer
and a changelog entry closing this bug.

See [2] and [3] for an example.

Hi Jakob,
I already did it,
I uploaded version 99-9 là to close this bug in change logs but I think it
is removed by maintainer and replace by another update.
