As I'm retiring, the following packages I maintained need someone else
to look after them:

media-video/avidemux - video and qt herds (this one needs a version bump)
media-video/smplayer - qt and video herds
x11-themes/haematite-xcursors - desktop-misc herd
x11-themes/obsidian-xcursors - ,,
x11-themes/pearlgrey-xcursors - ,,
x11-wm/openbox - hwoarang?, lxde herd, desktop-wm herd
app-misc/vifm <-- this is now maintainer-needed!
app-text/wgetpaste <-- this is now maintainer-needed!

Also, my proxy-maintainers will need new contacts:
x11-wm/echinus - anyone from desktop-wm still active?
dev-php/roadsend-php - anyone from php?

I hope I didn't forget anything.

Cheers,
Ben

I forgot to add:

app-text/poppler - reavertm?, now assigned to kde herd, and printing
herd which is basically dead
app-text/poppler-data - assigned to dead printing herd and loki_val
who is on extended devaway
dev-python/python-poppler - taken over by python herd

Cheers,
Ben

I guess I should have done a proper grep on the tree before my first
message. I missed a few more that are now up for grabs:

media-sound/ncmpcpp - tanderson?, sound herd
app-text/convertlit
app-admin/makepasswd
app-backup/rsnapshot - proxy maintainer needs new contact
app-cdr/recorder - media-optical herd
app-laptop/lenovo-sl-laptop
dev-php5/symfony - proxy maintainer needs new contact
media-sound/wavegain - sound herd
net-misc/wput
www-client/dillo - desktop-misc herd, but could use dedicated
maintainer (also for fltk:2)
x11-themes/pekwm-themes-hewphoria - proxy maintainer (same as for
echinus) needs new contact (xarthisius?)

Cheers,
Ben

I will take care of



x11-wm/openbox

app-admin/makepasswd ( with Michael (xmw) Weber as proxy )

app-backup/rsnapshot -> Proxy maintainer please contact me



Thanks

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

I'll begin to work in those bugs.



Cheers.



Ok, then I won't mask this package for removal ( I was about to do it right now when I�accidentally remembered this thread ) for now. If the bugs are still unresolved after 30 days I will have to mask it for removal. In the meantime, if you have working patches for the repodoc bugs [1], I can commit them for you and proxy this package for you until you gain tree access

[1]:�http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=repodoc

ACK
*I will proceed with masking as soon as possible
Thanks

Thank you for your help in trying to get the app-doc/repodoc package

back to live :-)



I've found some information on this package:



1. I've contacted Fernando Pereda (ferdy), one of the authors of

* repodoc. He told me (as expected) that this package is no longer

* maintained. He recommends to find out if the translatos are

* currently using this package (seems very reasonable).

* Besides, the package is not very secure, since it allows to run

* commands by using a specially modify doc.

* It is slow and the technologies used (bash and sed) are not the

* proper ones to manage XML.



2. I've pinged the gentoo-translators maillist [1] to find

* translators who are using this package. I've got only one

* negative answer in a week or so.



3. I've taken a look at the package's unresolved bugs:

* 197617 - Seems tough to fix, according to yoswink and neysx

* * * * * *comments.

* 297946 - I've posted a comment [2] in this bug. No answer at

* * * * * *the moment.

* 297947 - Haven't check yet.

* 299753 - Seems easy to fix.



So, IMO you can mark it for removal.



Regards.
