  • Easy fix for I2P FTBFS #997213, can anybody help?

    From zzz@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 27 00:00:01 2022
    Hi, I'm the upstream dev for I2P

    Our package was removed due to FTBFS https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=997213
    due to a change in a dependent package.

    It's an easy fix to the i2p control file, the fix is at the bottom of the link above.

    Unfortunately our maintainer has been unresponsive for over a year.

    Looking for a volunteer to fix and restore the package, or even better
    to bring it up-to-date, using the latest package from our repo https://deb.i2p2.de/
    which contains the fix and a year's worth of changes.

    thanks!

    I will do it, the fix is indeed easy. I will do a delayed upload and
    inform the maintainer, although I understand you have already tried to
    reach him.

    Right now I am not willing to take over maintainership (assuming
    Masayuki won't do it), so if anyone else is, please step in.

    Cheers,

    Thank you very much Pierre! We really appreciate it!

    For everybody else, yes, we are looking for a new maintainer, as Debian I2P is now 5 releases behind,
    and we've made numerous attempts to contact Masayuki.
    We do 4 releases a year. We maintain a Debian repo at https://deb.i2p2.de/ , and for more information about I2P see https://geti2p.net/

    thanks again
