• Bug#1039431: Maintaining yubiserver in Authentication tools packaging t

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 1 17:50:01 2025
    Hi,

    today the package yubiserver came up as a candidate for the Bug of the
    Day[1]. I think this package would integrate nicely into the
    Authentication tools packaging team. I'm personally no member of this
    team and I do not really feel like a competent member of this team. I
    would rather like to find someone who might add the own ID to the
    package and take over the maintenance of the package. If this would be
    the case I would volunteer to start the "Intend to Salvage" procedure.
    (I hope my suspicion is wrong but it seems the maintainer of this
    package is MIA - at least we did not got any response to other ITS bugs
    in the past.)

    Since I'm no member of the Authentication tools packaging team I created
    a *temporary* repository in the Salvage team space[2] since it is easier
    to move/fork the repository from here. I fixed three bugs (in CC;
    review of the debian/*.service file would be welcome anyway) and
    modernised the packaging. From my point of view the package is more or
    less ready for uploading - just needs an additional Uploader to fulfill
    Package Salvaging requirements.

    In case nobody has spare spoons to care for it I would consider
    orphaning the package. Even than I'm wondering whether the auth-team
    space on Salsa might be the best place for the repository instead of
    simply keeping it in Debian/.

    What do you think?

    Kind regards
    Andreas.
