Is Christian Meder MIA?
Walter Franzini
in the past months I've tryied without success to contact Christian
Meder (ch...@absolutegiganten.org), the maintainer of the aegis package,
offering my help.
As a Debian and Aegis user I'm a bit worried of state of the aegis
package.
He uploaded 4.24-1 (2008-04-20) and next packaging updates until 4.24-5
(2008-12-05) in the meantime the upstream team has done one stable
updates (4.24.1 released 2008-09-24). Later (2009-06-29) the upstream
team has released another stable release (4.24.2).
thanks

While I haven't been using aegis for quite some time now, I'd be sad to
see it go. Would maintaining the package in collab-maint on
git.debian.org an option?
If there is no reaction, let's do that and orphan the package until we
find a new maintainer or Chris finds more time for the package.

I'm available, however I'm not sure about the procedure to follow to
activate such options. Can you give me some hints?
Thanks.

Peter Miller (CCed), the main upstream author of Aegis recently became
a Debian Maintainer. I'm sure he'd be interested in helping out.
Cheers,
Erik

Practically, this requires all interested parties to have an account on
alioth.debian.org. All DDs automatically have such an acount, non-DDs
can request one. See http://wiki.debian.org/CollaborativeMaintenance and
the references for details how collab-maint works.
If Peter Miller is interested in maintaining the package himself, I'd
happily sponsor the first upload so that he can continue himself!

Before any action, *please* wait a congruent amount of time for Chris to reply.
I'm happy to see several people being intested in aegis, but he is the
formal maintainer, so we should have his ack before proceed further.

We already had some discussion about co-maintainership in the past (see
#470162) without being able to make it real.

Hi Walter,
sorry for being unresponsive. I had a pretty intense 2009 at work and
was mostly ignoring non-urgent private emails. Sorry again.
Now life has slowed down a bit and I intend to return to my aegis
duties. Thank you for preparing the updated Debian package I'll check it
and upload it afterwards.
Greetings,
Christian

I've just uploaded the package for 4.24.2 on http://aegis.stepbuild.org/debian/aegis
it now build and *test* under (a properly configured) pbuilder!
Can we manage to setup the collective maintanership stuff as you
proposed some time ago?
ciao :-)
