Hi Chip,

I understand you are the maintainer of libmail-spf-query-perl[1], the
Debian package for Mail::SPF::Query[2]. We, the SPF project[3], have
recently decided to wrap up M:S:Q for a final release, probably 1.998 or
1.999. (After that, the new, yet unfinished Mail::SPF[4] will probably
become the new reference implementation.)

(Sidenote: in the 1.998 release, some of the bugs listed in the Debian bug
tracker will be resolved[5].)

The real reason for this message however is: would you like us to include
the Debian package control files in the upstream M:S:Q source package
(i.e. in the Subversion repository)?

Julian.

I'm sorry, but no; I've left the Debian project.

Uh, ok. That means we need someone else to turn to who can adopt the
package (perhaps the Debian Perl group or the pkg-perl-maintainers Alioth
group). Could you please at least orphan the package so others know that
taking over the package is legitimate?

Thanks for that in advance and for your past work on libmail-spf-query-perl,
Julian.

Quite.

No, sorry. Not without a key on the keyring.

I just read up on debian-devel about what happened to you. Sorry to hear
it. :-(

Do you plan on pursuing the issue any further and regain a functional key
on the Debian keyring, or are you going to leave it at that? If the
latter is the case, I'll try to convince the pkg-perl-maintainers people
to "hijack" the package without it being officially orphaned.

The latter. Debian management needs to reform before I spend more
time working around it. :-(

That sounds like a good plan.
