Re: xml-core package maintenance

Greet

Thanks.

I see xml-core has been moved out.  It was actively maintained when Ardo wa=
s
around.

Can you do the same for all co-maintained package using this address.

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=3Ddebian-sgml%40lists.debian.org

* debiandoc-sgml  popcon=3D200 (git-buildpackage used to use this but now m=
oved to
use docbook2x)=20
* debiandoc-sgml-doc
* debiandoc-sgml-doc-pt-br
* sgml-data popcon=3D118885=09

(Yes, I have been baby-sitting these after Ardo has been out-of-reach.)

Another zombe group is Debian XML/SGML Group

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=3Ddebian-xml-sgml-pkgs%40lists.al=
ioth.debian.org

Notable and high-popcon packages are
* libxml2 popcon=3D60283
* libxslt popcon=3D207556
* docbook2x popcon=3D283 but git-buildpackage build-depends on this.
  Martin, what do you think?
* docbook-dsssl popcon=3D2435 (less important now)

These may be better to be maintained in debian/ in salsa.

Co-maintained for these packages may be not correct.  Almost orphaned but s=
table
and functioning is the state of these packages.  Keeping them on more acces=
sible
section may be good idea.....

I guess we need to make extra upload when site URL changed.  Or will there =
be
some redirect from old git URL to new URL?
