I request an adopter for the vim-lastplace package.

The package description is:
 Intelligently reopen files at your last edit position. By default git, svn,
and mercurial commit messages are ignored because you probably want to type a
new message and not re-edit the previous one.

Maintaining this package is not much work. It is a small package with only one
vim addon that does not change much.

Hello Yue Lan,

That's great!
is very simple, there seem to be no problems at all so far. :)

But there is one bug report for Ubuntu: [0]

It's actually a problem with vim-addon-manager, that is already fixed in
newer versions: [1]

James suggests there, that we could use dh-vim-addon for packaging and
drop our maintainer scripts. That would be a nice cleanup of the package.

It probably is a good idea to get in touch with him and with the vim
packaging team. [2]

That way you can get a lot of good advice, get to know more people and
if you want to, you can get more involved with packaging vim packages.

Yours
  David

That sounds good. If there is a dedicated debhelper program to deal with this type of package, it may reduce unnecessary maintenance work. I will try to do it.


I'd like to. But before I ask a question, I think I'd like to consolidate the knowledge of dh and vim script first. I'm deficient about these two parts at the moment.


Have a nice day!

Hello, David.


I've forked vim-lastplace and create a new branch using dh-vim-addon for
package-rebuilding[0].

With James' help[1], I fixed some problem.

Could you please help me check it out again?


Yours

Hello Yue Lan,

since you are already in touch with James, could you ask him, if he is
willing to sponsor the package?

I have not much time right now and never worked with dh-vim-addon before.

He can also give you access to [0] repo.

Yours
  David

Hey y'all, since Yue Lan had been granted maintainer access it isn't a
RFA anymore, am I right?

I'm available to help with any bug, see you.
