Packages up for grabs

I maintain a few packages where I either no longer have the hardware or
no longer have appropriate access to test the packages. Because of
this, I am looking to find a maintainer for the following packages.

These three go together, but I don't have the hardware to test them and
SeJo has gone MIA since I put these in the tree. ;]

sys-auth/tfm-fingerprint
sys-auth/pam_bioapi
sys-auth/bioapi

These two are both Cisco tools requiring Cisco hardware at least on one
end. I do have a PIX, but I do not have a CCO account, so getting
updated versions of the VPN client has been a pain for me for a while.
The Aironet Client Utilities are simple to maintain, as it is simply a
gtk+-1 application and hasn't had a new version in ages.

net-misc/cisco-aironet-client-utils
net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des

I had already asked for someone else to take these, but never got any
response.

net-misc/icaclient
net-misc/tsclient

I can take net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des, I have a CCO account, and I'm
currently using it.

Though there wasn't a new version out for a long time, so the current package
is still valid.

While my current employer uses such a router, I find that the vpnc client
works "better" in that it does not force me to route all traffic through the
vpn, but allows me to make my own routes. Of course vpnc does not require
binary kernel modules either.

I know about vpnc, but it doesn't support all of the features of the
Cisco official client. Also, the Cisco VPN Client does *not* use binary
kernel modules. The *client* is binary, the modules are source-based.
Also, there's a patch in Bugzilla to add local LAN access support to the
client, even if it is denied on the server side. I haven't decided if I
am going to add the patch or not, since it does allow the client to
perform actions that could violate a company's security policy. Of
course, if someone else were maintaining it, it would be their decision
to make.

Cool. I switched jobs (twice, actually) since I started maintaining
this and don't have a CCO account anymore.

Yeah, there's no open bugs that need to be fixed. There's an
enhancement bug, but I'll leave that to you to decide.

I hope this doesn't mean you are retiring.. =/

I already have a snapshot script for this and have been meaning to
bump our version. I'll just add myself to metadata now.

GNOME team need all these working good so we could take those. I think
empathy is already co-maintained by us as an official GNOME module.
We wouldn't mind co-maintenance of the telepathy stuff with other teams
or people.

I guess I can (co-)maintain this as I'm using it a few systems already.

It's on gmane as

<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/68325>

"""""

The following packages list me as maintainer. I am gonna remove myself
from them soonish ( 15-20 days ) so feel free to grab them if you want to

app-admin/makepasswd
app-backup/rsnapshot
app-crypt/bsign
dev-util/dissy
media-gfx/viewnior
media-libs/liblqr
sci-biology/biogrep
net-misc/pmsvn
x11-misc/dragbox
sys-apps/pyrenamer
media-gfx/arss

All of them *should* work just fine but I am not quite aware
about the status of upstream development.

I plan to remove myself from many more packages which I co-maintain with
several herds such as qt,kde,desktop-misc and
graphics. Hopefully they will be able to maintain them without me
supervise them.

"""""

These have now been taken (reordered alpha by category):

app-admin/makepasswd tomk
app-backup/rsnapshot flameeyes
media-gfx/viewnior ricmm

Leaving:

app-crypt/bsign

I passed it on to you as the bug seems to be fixed by a PLD Linux
patch. I forwarded it upstream, so the next release should contain a
fix.
