[opensuse-factory] Resigning maintainership
To all, What is the "official" method to resign a maintainer's role with an openSUSE project? I no longer wish to be the maintainer of the VirtualBox project. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Post here asking if anyone wants to take over the package, if you find someone get them to send in requests for "bugownership" and "maintainership" then once you accept you can remove yourself and fill in the new maintainer on anything they should know. If no one steps up then we need to start the process of removing it from factory and possibly leap if its likely to have future security issues. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

VBox would rather break on the next kernel/gcc/glibc/python/qt submission. The new maintainer should know how to keep up with them all (kernel breakage is the most often, I would say). thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
