[opensuse-factory] Looking for new carla, linuxsampler and libgig package maintainers
Hello, I would like to give up maintainership for the mentioned packages residing in multimedia:libs and multimedia:apps. Since a year I have a fulltime job in theater that keeps me pretty busy, and I also have to accept that my life and interests have shifted in ways that makes it hard for me to spend considerable amounts of time on maintaining these packages. Given that there is a pending list of CVE bugs that I'm unable to resolve myself, and writing to their mailing list raised no interest or even response whatsoever, I'm also a bit frustrated. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?assigned_to=edogawa%40aon.at&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED A while ago I updated both packages to their latest versions in hope that the bug tickets would update themselves and at least some bugs would get resolved by that, but so far nothing changed and I'm not willing or able to invest more time in that Apart from that, linuxsampler has been a problematic package since at least 10 years, due to a incompatible addition/exception to the GPL that violates it, but the author refuses to see it that way and discuss further. See for example https://linuxsampler-devel.narkive.com/xGw3tX5D/ls-licensing-was-linuxsample... My initial motivation was coming from the carla package which I also created and maintain, as it's a great host for all kinds of audio plugins and offers some builtin support for linuxsampler. I wanted my package to support as many features as possible. I love tinkering in my spare time with random stuff I'm interested in, but in this case I'm really sort of done with it, so I think I have to take a decision and stop my involvement. Any takers? Thanks for your attention, Edgar

I've put in a request for Carla, i'm also (very slowly) working to get Candence but at this point im unlikely to use any of the sampling stuff so i'll have to pass on that. -- 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
