I intend to salvage the libpodofo package as per the Package Salvaging
procedure described in section 5.13 of the Developers' Reference. For
more info, please see
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging

Rationale:
- The last 4 uploads were NMUs.
- The last maintainer upload was in 2022.
- There are multiple outstanding bugs that have not been answered in
  several years, mainly security issues and new upstream versions
  (#1036938).

The package is nearly ready for upload, only thing left is d/copyright
cleanup and potentially some further repacking. Current progress is at
https://salsa.debian.org/Maytha8/libpdofo

I wonder why you do not push to

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libpdofo

directly (after importing latest NMU).  I can't find the repository you
mention above.  Salsa returns 404 (and seeking for libpdofo fails as
well)

Moreover I wonder whether you might want to maintain this package in

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianCommons

I assume you found a fix for #1133527 and hopefully for the open CVEs.

Kind regards

Hi Andreas,

Sorry, package name typo. See https://salsa.debian.org/Maytha8/libpodofo

See the commit history for what I've fixed (which I believe is most if
not all the open bugs if I remember correctly). d/copyright is the only
problem remaining and I haven't had (and still do not) have time to fix
it.

Thanks,
Maytham

Argh - I could have guessed this.  If you ask me its a good idea to
force-push to the Debian team repository and upload.

Thank you for the update.  I was running

  $ tagpending
  tagpending info: tagging these bugs pending: 1136158

on your repository.  Please consider Debian Commons team anyway once you
finished d/copyright (not sure what exactly you want to fix bit I consider
lrc a great tool to see what's wrong.  If you would have pushed to
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libpodofo
I would have pushed some changes fixing lrc issues.

Kind regards

Hello,

I just want to say thank you for taking this package on, that I clearly
badly abandoned.

I haven't looked at what you proposed to upload, just want to say please
close attention to the symbols here.  They cleaned up quite a lot of
cruft in that department, but just this package tends to leak quite a
lot of c++ internals otherwise…  That really shouldn't be.

Besides that, good luck and thank you again!
