Hi,
myrepos is a native Debian package. It would be great if it could be
migrated to the Debian team on Salsa to enable easy access to any DD.
Kind regards
Andreas.
Hi Richard, in case this bug report did not reach you, I wanted to briefly follow up. I would be very happy to help with a migration of the package from branchable.com to salsa.debian.org. Since this is a Debian native package, hosting it on Salsa seems like a natural fit. Noting your involvement with the git-annex and zsh maintainer teams on Salsa, I assume the platform itself is not an obstacle for you. If this is mainly a matter of time or capacity, I'm glad to assist with the migration work. If you would prefer not to move the repository, it would be helpful if you could tag the bug as wontfix. In that case, an upload of the current Git state would still be very welcome, as it would allow closing two open bugs (#685002, #1105038) and improve dgit support. Thanks for your time, and please let me know how you'd like to proceed. Thank you for considering Andreas.
Hi Richard and Paul, this is a friendly ping regarding the migration of myrepos to Salsa. I have taken the liberty of mirroring the current repository from source.myrepos.branchable.com to: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/myrepos If you have reasons to keep maintaining this native Debian package in an external Git repository, that is of course fine. In that case, please tag this bug as wontfix and remove the patch tag I have set, so this decision is clearly documented. If I do not hear back within one month, I will assume that this approach is acceptable and proceed with an NMU referencing the Salsa repository. The background for this is to make native Debian packages more accessible to the Debian community and to lower the barrier for contributions. This package is clearly useful (thanks for your work on it), but it has not seen an upload since o-o-stable. Thanks for your time, and I'm happy to adjust the approach if you prefer a different workflow. Kind regards Andreas.
Hi Richard, at contributors.d.o I noticed that your recent activity on bugs/lists may have used your gmail address, so I am CCing this address as well. I am following up regarding the native package myrepos. As mentioned earlier in this bug report, I created a repository at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/myrepos I'd be happy if you might pull from here in case you prefer to stick outside Salsa for whatever reason. I took some action since there had been no upload for more than seven years, despite some fixes already existing in Git. I would appreciate some information about the current status of the package and whether you still intend to maintain it. If there are blockers or if help with maintenance/uploading would be useful, I would be happy to assist. So far I have unfortunately not received any response in this bug report, which makes it difficult to understand the current maintenance situation. Kind regards Andreas.
