On behalf of Debian Science Team I intend to orphan palabos package. The package description is: CFD solver based on the lattice Boltzmann method. Development files A software tool for classical CFD, particle-based models and complex physical interaction, Palabos offers a powerful environment for your fluid flow simulations. Currently, the package has no active uploader listed in the corresponding field in d/control. After the call [1] no interest was identified in the team.

Hi everyone, I will try to adopt this package. Please feel free to let me know if you are also interested. Kind regards, Tai
Progress update: I got myself familiar with how the code is built and prepared patches to generate and package both the .a and .so libraries. I will target version 2.3.0 to rework.
Progress update: Palabos v2.3.0 has been packaged after a revamp by me. I also successfully built and run tutorial_1_1 using the .a file included in the package for verification. Next step: I will look for a Debian Developer (DD) to sponsor the upload during DebConf 25, particularly during the Debian Science team BoF. Anyone who happens to be the user of palabos deb or interested in such packaging work is more than welcome to reach out to me. I am looking forward to your feedback.

I'd strongly recommend to show up on the Debian Science mailing list, tell people your Salsa login and ask for membership in the https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/palabos repository. My bet is that this bug log does not get much attention and waiting here until someone might come back to you is not very promising, IMHO. In any case your work is really welcome. Kind regards Andreas.
Dear Andreas, Thank you for the suggestion. I've already taken care of both the mailing list and the Salsa membership. As a quick update on my progress: I attended DebConf 25 and received some helpful feedback from senior Debian Developers like Mattia Rizzolo. I am currently improving the package based on his advice, as well as the guidelines on his sponsoring page: https://people.debian.org/~mattia/sponsoring.html Things are moving a bit slowly at the moment, but I am still actively working on it. Once it is ready or I have questions, I will definitely announce it on the Debian Science mailing list. Kind regards, Tai
Hi, I hope you be doing doing fine. Package is now upgraded to version 2.3.0 through QA upload. https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/reviews/palabos/2.3.0+repack1-1 Maintaining a package takes time and requires a continuous effort. You have an ITA on the package palabos, do you wish to co-maintain this package under the science team? Regards, Syed Shahrukh Hussain.

Hi Shahrukh, Thanks for reaching out, and apologies for the delay! Your previous email ended up in my spam folder. I would be happy to co-maintain this package under the Debian Science Team. Are there any remaining tasks or CI failures that currently need attention? Kind regards, Tai On Fri, Aug 21, 2026 at 1:42 PM Syed Shahrukh Hussain < syed.shahrukh@ossrevival.org> wrote:
