Maintenance of libparams-util-perl

[Jonathan Yu]

Hi Jonas:

Some months ago, I filed bug #537296, which requested an upgrade for
libparams-util-perl since one of the packages I'd like to upload is
blocked by it. I have not heard from you since, and would like to know
what your intentions are with respect to this package. If you are no
longer interested in this package, I would like to extend an offer of
the pkg-perl team's services to maintain this in the future.

I see that many of your packages are already maintained under the
pkg-perl group. I understand that your other obligations are probably
preventing you from keeping this package up-to-date, and given the
popularity of this particular package and the necessity of the new
version for libcpandb-perl, I think it's important to have it
upgraded. Of course, if you do decide to allow the group to take over
the package, you can remain as an uploader and continue to maintain it
yourself, if you so choose.

My only interest is having the new version upgraded and uploaded to
the Debian archive.

Thanks for maintaining this module; hopefully I hear from you soon
about your intentions with respect to the future of this package.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Now there's another one: the newer version of libsql-statement-perl
also needs Params::Util 1.00.

Since libsql-statement-perl 1.22 fixes an RC bug a newer
libparams-util-perl would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
gregor

Given this, I have now bumped the severity up to "important" and plan
to do a Non-Maintainer Upload after two weeks or so, perhaps in the
first week of November.

I think you deserve the benefit of the doubt, so I'll try to give you
more time in case you've just been out of contact for awhile or too
busy to upgrade it yourself. I think a NMU is an appropriate course of
action for now, short of totally hijacking the package from you. It
puzzles me that you have not yet responded to this bug report nor my
inquiry on debian-qa@... as to your MIA-status, given that the
version available in Debian (0.38) was released upstream on 16 Feb
2009.

Daniel: I'm sorry of this is just noise to you; who-uploads indicates
that you were the sponsor for the previous releases of this, so
perhaps you have some other way of getting in touch with Jonas and
letting him know of our plans, or if he has orphaned his Debian
package contributions.
