Hi there,

Wondered if you could help me. I've recently been appointed by the GNU Project to take over maintenance of the Freedink package.

What would the process be for picking up the maintenance of the following packages on Debian; freedink, freedink-data, freedink-dfarc, freedink-dfarc-dbg, freedink-engine

These would form part of my role with the GNU Project.

As these packages are orphaned you can become a new maintainer for them as described on https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#adopting-a-package
and https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l3

This is documented in various places, but in short, rename the
O (orphaned) bug to ITA (intent to adopt), update the package and
file an RFS (request for sponsor) bug. In addition, since this is a
game, you might want to join the games team and help with other games.

PS: the freedink-dfarc-dbg package is obsoleted by automatic dbgsyms:
