Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the dia package.

The package description is:
Dia is an editor for diagrams, graphs, charts etc. There is support for UML
static structure diagrams (class diagrams), Entity-Relationship diagrams,
network diagrams and much more. Diagrams can be exported to postscript and
many other formats.

Are you still interested in adopting this package?

Yes, I’m still interested in adopting this package, I was waiting for the end of the freeze to start working on it.

I hope I made it correctly.

Hello.

The package seems to build in Debian/unstable.

A few trivial suggestions or updates are attached.

You should probably forward the existing debian/patches/* that are not
specific to Debian, and see if the upstream project is active.

Efforts to keep the Debian package alive in the long run only make
sense if someone volunteers to "maintain" the upstream project, at
least in a minimal sense: collect patches and produce releases.

Hello Philippe and Nicolas,

I would be happy to help maintaining this package that I use regularly!
So feel free to ping me if help needed.

By the way, do you use a VCS where we could get the WIP package and
eventually contribute? Salsa [1] is usually the way to go.

Best Regards,
François

Hello,

Thank you Nicolas for the set of patches, I applied (and understood!)
them. Indeed, they reduce the number of Lintian warnings :)

I created a repository on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/phsw/dia.

I made some trivial changes on top of Debian package currently in the
archive. Next steps will be to update the package to use the more recent
upstream code and continue some housekeeping tasks, such as ones
reported on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dia. And then I will be able
to start looking for a sponsor! :)

Philippe.
