There is a minor error: I fixed the -Simple package with a patch
submitted in the upstream bugtracker iirc 7 days ago. But I also noticed
that the -Mirror package was removed from debian.
The SVN::Mirror module seems to have problems with subversion 1.6. The
author doesn't seem to have done anything with the module since 2008
including responding to the upstream bug. It will probably need to be
removed since I don't have the knowledge to fix it. The perl-SVK
package requires perl-SVN-Mirror but it is for an optional feature. I
could make a new package that removes the dependency.
But what about the other packages from this maintainer? He maintains
around 36 other packages:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/iburrell
E.g. the jigdo packages also has 4 bug. I looked at two an both did not
receive any comments from the maintainer:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426847
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503833
Therefore the non responsive maintainer procedure, i.e. orphaning all
packages from the affected maintainers, seems to me to be more
appropriate.
Sorry, I have been neglecting my packages for all the usual reasons.
I'll give them the attention they need.
