I no longer use this package, and I have not spent any time on it for the past two years. If there is anyone who would like to take over its maintenance, feel free to claim it. The package description is: apt-move is used to move a collection of Debian package files into a proper archive hierarchy as is used in the official Debian archive. It is intended as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be configured to work with any collection of Debian packages. . Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating valid local Packages.gz files. It can also build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror).
Hi mate, I'm interested in taking over the maintenance of apt-move. I was wondering if the existing packaging was maintained in revision control somewhere? (I'll retitle the O: when I hear back from you, unless someone else beats me to it). Thanks, kk
I was going through some old mail when I realized that I never got back to you. Sorry about that! No, I did not maintain apt-move in a revision control system, so I guess you will have to start one yourself!
retitle 547348 O: apt-move -- Maintain Debian packages in a package noowner 547348 thanks Hi, This is an automatic email to change the status of apt-move back from ITA (Intent to Adopt) to O (Orphaned), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 6 months. If you are still interested in adopting apt-move, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 547348 ITA: apt-move -- Maintain Debian packages in a package owner 547348 ! thanks However, it is not recommended to keep ITA for a long time without acting on the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from adopting the package. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITA from time to time, by mailing <547348@bugs.debian.org>. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
