Hello! |
| 2 |
|

While someone else is the official maintainer of net-misc/aria2, I have |
| 5 |
done the last 5 version bumps or so on net-misc/aria. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have gotten a little behind with it lately: 1.12.1 is the latest in |
| 8 |
tree, upstream has 1.13.0, 1.14.0 and the very fresh 1.14.1. |
| 9 |
One reason for that is that I don't use aria2 myself that much if at |
| 10 |
all. Another is that the next version bump needs more care than just |
| 11 |
copy-and-commit: some dependencies have changed. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I would like to pass package net-misc/aria2 on to one of you. With the |
| 14 |
help of the proxy maintainer team this could even be someone who is not |
| 15 |
yet a Gentoo developer. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Besides the test suite, nothing needs patching in the latest ebuild of |
| 18 |
1.12.1. There is three open bugs [1]. |

If you want to take over, please go ahead. Maybe leave a short reply in |
| 21 |
this thread. Thanks! |

Hello ......, |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
it looks like you don't really have time or interest to keep aria2 up to |
| 45 |
speed. More or less the same on my end. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Would you mind if I publicly ask for a new maintainer for aria2? |
| 48 |
If I do not hear from you within a week I take no answer as a "yes". |
