| abk | Hi there! (I don't expect immediate replies.. perhaps I'll check this in some 12 hrs or tomorrow.) | 19:36 |
|---|---|---|
| abk | Debian silently removed the packages dict-bouvier and dict-moby-thesaurus. | 19:37 |
| abk | The official reason is «RoQA; dead upstream (10+ years); python2-only; no extrenal deps; extremely low popcon» although those do not use python. | 19:38 |
| abk | Furthermore, the dictionary in the package dict-gcide now lacks several words. For example, lacks the word «appear». | 19:40 |
| abk | For some reason someone removed a lot from that package, without any sense. | 19:41 |
| abk | In such scenario, I would like to upload those to Devuan. However, so far I haven't found any guide about how to become «maintainer». | 19:44 |
| abk | Here are the links to Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dict-bouvier , https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dict-moby-thesaurus . | 19:45 |
| abk | So, how do I upload those packages into Devuan? Is that possible? Anyway, would appreciate some reply at some point. | 19:46 |

| fsmithred | abk, this might be helpful, too: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=38976 (How to build a package from source the smart way) | 19:55 |
| abk | fsmithred, thanks! | 20:22 |
