Welcome to my first free software activities report, a monthly series in which I aim to summarize my activities in the free software projects and communities I participate in.
#1070268: I recently noticed that the recutils package is missing in the latest release of Debian, Trixie. Indeed, recutils’ page on the tracker shows that it was removed from testing last year due to FTBFS bug #1066370, and its maintainer requested it be adopted by someone else in this bug. This is unfortunate, because there are other pieces of software (including other GNU packages) that rely on recutils, and the GNU Project also uses recutils extensively for various record-keeping purposes.
So I reached out to the package’s former maintainer Sven Wick, who gave their kind blessing for me to adopt it. I’ve adopted recutils in Debian with an upload that also addresses the FTBFS bug.
Many thanks, Sven, for your years of work packaging and maintaining recutils in Debian!
#1066370: Fixed FTBFS bug in recutils and uploaded to unstable.
