  • [gentoo-dev] Can app-office/sc be replaced by app-office/sc-im from GUR

    From Jeff Gazso@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 27 05:30:01 2022
    It seems app-office/sc (spreadsheet calculator) was last updated
    upstream about 20 years ago. At this point it's safe to say the
    project is no longer in development.

    There is a currently maintained fork called sc-im (spreadsheet
    calculator - improved) which has been in continuous development for
    about 6 years at this point. It does not exist in the main Gentoo
    repository but app-office/sc-im is present in GURU. The
    app-office/sc-im ebuild appears to be maintained by someone named Dex
    Conner.

    I'm new at this, but it looks to me like the ebuild is in good shape.
    The only thing that jumps out at me is the fact that the package
    manifest needs some TLC.

    My thought is unless some serious deficiency is present in
    app-office/sc-im it should be moved to Gentoo's main ebuild repository
    and the last rites process should be started for app-office/sc. Does
    anyone else have thoughts or comments on this?

    We could probably last rite app-office/sc. It has no maintainer, and a
    couple of open bugs.

    Moving app-office/sc-im to the Gentoo repo is a bit more of an ask.
    Ideally, a Gentoo developer would maintain it. Alternatively, a
    non-developer could maintain it by proxy, but you would need to find a developer to act as proxy or get approval from the Proxy Maintainers
    project. In any case, you should probably reach out to the current
    maintainer in GURU to see what he wants to do.

    I'm the maintainer of app-office/sc-im. Just so everyone is aware, upon talking to Jeff, I've decided to maintain it by proxy. I have some reading
    to do but hopefully I'll have created the necessary pull requests by
    tomorrow.

    I do have just one question: Should I wait until the pull requests are
    merged to remove sc-im from GURU or should I do it after I create the pull requests?

    Please remove it only after merging, this creates a seemless transition for the users of this package.
