Description

I would like to volunteer to maintain the following unmaintained ports:

Also, the following ports are also outdated, and I would be willing to take them on as well if the current maintainers do not wish to continue:

  • atari800
  • cc65

Thanks!

dosbox and hatari assigned to you in r110721.

Adding the maintainers of atari800 and cc65 to CC.

You want to add openmaintainer, too, so that changes can get committed faster?

comment:3 Changed 11 years ago by emuslor (James Wilkinson)

Sure, that's fine. Thanks.

In r123538 I added openmaintainer to dosbox. For hatari this was already done with r110747.

The maintainers of atari800 and cc65 have not reacted to this ticket so far.

  • krischik@ owns some unacknowledged tickets and there is ticket #37284 requesting an update of atari800, so it is probably fair to assume that krischik@ is not active any more.
    UPDATE: krischik has recent activity on other ports, so he is still active
  • trashgod@ replied to cc65 related ticket #40143, but the ticket is still open after 12 month.

In any case, if you want update to cc65 or atari800, just provide patches and compile update tickets as usual. Maybe leave a note here and do not duplicate #37284 just attach your patch there. If the current maintainer do not reply, these will be committed using maintainer timeout. You could also compile 'port abandoned' against the two ports.

Can we close this ticket? The maintainers of atari800 and cc65 never accepted co-maintainership. I guess it is not appropriate to add a new maintainer here, at least as long as these ports are not considered abandoned.

I'd rather follow the port abandonment policy, because this ticket hasn't been acknowledged by the maintainers for months. Closing this ticket just hides the evidence that the maintainers are inactive.

comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by petrrr

I filed two port abandoned tickets #45286 and #45288 to resolve this.

Replying to petr@…:

I filed two port abandoned tickets #45286 and #45288 to resolve this.

It looks like #40143 can be closed, but I'm not sure what I should do to effect this.

I'm not sure how I missed this ticket, but I'll be happy to continue or yield.

@trashgod You cannot do it yourself. Just leave a comment with the respective ticket, which makes clear what should be done about it. You may also indicate what is the resolution state.

Currently, the cc65 port is not openmaintainer. We highly encourage non-committers to add it. Otherwise, even trivial changes can take quite long. Can I add it?

comment:12 Changed 10 years ago by petrrr

trashgod@ accepted openmaintainer for cc65 in ticket #45288. I understand the comments that james@ could be added as well. James are you still interested to co-maintain the cc65 port?

comment:13 Changed 10 years ago by petrrr

openmaintainer added in r126469. Keeping this ticket open and expecting reply from James.

comment:14 Changed 10 years ago by emuslor (James Wilkinson)

If trashgod@ is still going to maintain cc65, then that's great and I don't need to go in the way. I'm really only interested in helping out where help is needed, so put me where you can use me best. Thanks.

comment:15 Changed 10 years ago by petrrr

James, thanks for your reply. So I will keep the cc65 as it is now (with openmaintainer). You are free to submit patches to any port anyway.

The atari800 is still pending. If there is no reply from the current maintainer soon, I will pass maintainership to you.

Thanks for you interest in the project!

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I am closing this ticket.

I assume james@, might be fine with maintainership by Martin. In any case, James, if you have patches (bug fixes or updates) to any port, just file an appropriate ticket against the port.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
