Please orphan this package. The maintainer seems to be no longer active.

Dear all,

libimage-exiftool-perl got its last update in July 2011.


In the meanwhile, Phil released several new versions of exiftool:

Sept. 24,2011 - Version 8.65
Jan. 8, 2012 - Version 8.75
Jan. 27, 2012 - Version 8.77
Mar. 25, 2012 - Version 8.85
Apr. 28, 2012 - Version 8.90
Aug. 25, 2012 - Version 9.01
Nov. 3, 2012 - Version 9.04

(http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/history.html)

Mari's last reaction to this bug was five months ago.


The package is quite popular and should not be unmaintained for a long
time:

Regards

This package could be also maintained by Debian-perl team.

Mari, do you have any objection if Debian-perl team adopt libimage-exif-perl ?

Note that you are more than welcome to join the team if you want to
participate in maintaining this package when you have more free time.

All the best

About 10 days ago I sent an email to m...@qu.debian.org requesting that this package be orphaned. They suggested that I email the sponsor/co-maintainer, Petter Reinholdtsen, which I did, but I have so far had no response from him either.

No, I have no objection to the Debian-perl team taking over this
package. Please do so. I really wanted to keep up the maintenance
myself, but it is past time I realized there is no time for it right
now, and won't be for quite a while yet. As to joining the debian-perl
team, I'll remember that and come back to it if (when?) free time
becomes available again.

Do I need to do anything more for this to happen, or can you take care
of the rest? (Yes, I realize I could read up on that and find the
answer myself, but, see comment about time constraints above)

All the best

Mari

(And thanks to upstream for being unusually patient)

Thank you!
I'm moving it to a gi repo under pkg-perl right now.

You are (and everone else is) always welcome.
