Hello All, since quite some time now, there is a package nzbget (version 0.2.3) in pkgsrc-wip. It has been outdated by a number of new versions of nzbget, which is at version 0.7 now. I have taken the liberty of packaging the new version (which introduced a new dependency, libpar2). Since the dependency was not satisfiable by pkgsrc's devel/par2 package, I packaged libpar2, too. I will commit the latter one right after sending this email, as both packages have been tested and installed on several machines for me. What I am unsure of is what to do about nzbget itself. The current package-maintainer is Martijn van Buul, whom I have contacted about a week ago, without receiving any kind of response so far. See the mail attached below. I don't want a hostile take-over or anything even remotely alike, but I would like to see the nzbget-package being up-to-date. My suggestion is therefore, to commit my changes and add me as a co-maintainer, if that is fine with the rest. - Volkmar ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: pkgsrc: wip/nzbget From: "Volkmar Seifert" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, October 22, 2010 21:45 To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Martijn, my name is Volkmar Seifert, and like you, I am a package-maintainer in pkgsrc-wip. Some time ago, I packaged the current stable nzbget (0.7) and it's dependency libpar2 into pkgsrc-wip, but since your package nzbget-0.2.3 is there, too, I never uploaded it. My question now is, whether you'd like to take over my nzbget-package to replace yours with it, or should I do it, and simply add my name as package-maintainer next to yours. best regards - Volkmar -- http://blog.nifelheim.info/tech -- http://blog.nifelheim.info/tech ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev
