Hello!

I'd like to find new maintainers for some of my packages because I have
had less time for Debian. I'd like to focus the small amount of time
that I have for Debian on other things.

For now, I intend to do my best to keep maintaining this package.
However, I will probably retitle this bug with the 'O:' prefix at some
point, indicating that I have orphaned it.

Feel free to upload a new version of the package and remove me from the
uploaders in debian/control.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Also note that I always
willing to sponsor uploads!

Cheers,

Hi,

I've seen that there is still an open RFA on the golang-github-benbjohnson-tmpl
package although the original uploader has been changed (looking at the
changelog it looks like it was not processed automatically because of a typo, it
says Closes: ##940342, with an extra #).

In any case, I'm writing this message to ask you about the replacing the package
by another one that can be made compatible with the one on the archive and
provides more functionalities (the input values can be read from JSON, TOML or
YAML files, from environment variables or passed on the command line and the
templates can use functions from the Sprig project).

The source code of the replacement project I'm talking about is available on
https://github.com/krakozaure/tmpl/ and I've packaged it adding a patch to make
it compatible with the one from https://github.com/benbjohnson/tmpl/ at the
command line level.

I've uploaded my package to the Debian Go Packaging Team group on Salsa, you can
take a look at it there: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/tmpl/

So, my question is, would you mind if I open an RM bug against the
golang-github-benbjohnson-tmpl package and upload the other one to replace it?

If you agree let me now and if you are interested feel free to add yourselves as
co-maintainers of the new package, of course.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

  Sergio.
