FOSDEM: Collaboration (or the lack thereof) between distributionsFOSDEM: Collaboration (or the lack thereof) between distributionsPosted Feb 14, 2011 18:08 UTC (Mon) by kreutzm (guest, #4700)In reply to: FOSDEM: Collaboration (or the lack thereof) between distributions by michaeljt Parent article: FOSDEM: Collaboration (or the lack thereof) between distributions
As a maintainer of packages where upstream is dead or unrepsonsive it is just sad to see (in my case) Debian only patches like (localized) man pages or improved i18n. And cooperation should be easy - I tried both cooperation for certain low level software (alpha bootloader) and localized man pages. But the mentioned contacts did not respond (maybe the where wrong, but I don't have the ressources to research that).

FOSDEM: Collaboration (or the lack thereof) between distributions Posted Feb 15, 2011 9:19 UTC (Tue) by anselm (subscriber, #2796) [Link] If upstream is no longer interested in a package, would it not make sense for distribution maintainers to get together and fork the package in question to create a new common quasi-upstream?
