Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of netdot back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 6 months.

If you are still interested in adopting netdot, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 605079 ITP: netdot -- network documentation tool
 owner 605079 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <605079@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi,

I saw you filed a bug regarding netdot in Debian. I can't quite tell if you
were requesting that someone package the software or if you were intending
to package it yourself as there is not really much information in the bug
log.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605079

If you were intending to package the software but just did not recieve much
in the way of support, I'd like to offer to sponsor this package into the
archive for you, though I'm not too familiar with Perl and so may not be
able to help with some of the Perl specific details.

Please keep the bug email address in CC when you reply so that the
information can be added to the bug log.

Thanks,
Iain.

Hello Iain,

I originally intended to package it myself. I started with all the missing Perl modules that were not included in Debian. That took an enormous amount of time, but I believe that most of the modules were included. After that, I changed jobs, had more kids… you know how it goes :-)

I would love to continue this work and ultimately have a netdot package available in Debian, so I will gladly accept any help you can provide.

Best,

Hi,

Ok cool. If there are any Perl modules remaining, please do look through and
see if anyone has an ITP/RFP files and if not, file an ITP yourself. There
is a #debian-perl IRC channel on irc.debian.org that can offer help with
packaging Perl modules, as well as a Perl modules team.

https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup

I'm happy to sponsor uploads of modules and of netdot itself, but may have
to check with the Perl team if there are bits I don't understand for Perl
specific packaging quirks.

Thanks,
Iain.
