Hi,

I intend to orphan the keepassx package.

After trying to contact Diego Sarzi privately and considering that Shengjing
Zhu tried it too via #874950, I am orphaning keepassx again.

I sponsored Diego on an upload for keepassx during DebConf19 and I thought he
would be able to keep it updated.

Keepassx is a great software with high popcorn and it needs due attention.

Regards,

Giovani

I agree. Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please, don't
adopt this package if you don't really intent to maintain it.

Thank you for your action Giovani.

Hi, is not maintained anymore upstream:
https://www.keepassx.org/index.html%3Fp=636.html (the announcement is
recent but the latest version is 5 years ago)

his fork keepassxc is already present in debian and maintained
(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/keepassxc), I suppose that instead
search maintainer for keepassx can be good check if possible a
"transition" to keepassxc (and after remove keepassx)

FTR I used to used to use keepassx (I still have it installed - but
haven't used it for years). I switched to keepassxc some time ago. My
experience was that it was a drop in replacement. There was no
transition, just point it at your existing db and everything "just works".
