Sadly I have no longer had the time necessary to properly handle master key holder and packager duties for a while now. I don't feel like it's fair to you guys and our users to keep this up any longer so I'm officially resigning now.
Most pressing topics that come to mind for someone wanting to take over:
* I hold a master key, so you'll need to find a new holder for that * perl 5.40 update * various bug reports on Gitlab for my packages * a few flagged packages
Thanks for all the nice memories since "[2008-10-19 14:38] installed filesystem (2008.03-2)". While I will no longer be involved in Arch development, I'll still continue to use it and this nice, old install will also continue to live on.
Hope to see you guys around :)
Hi Florian, first of all: Thank you for all the work you did for Arch Linux! It's much appreciated! It is always sad to see longterm contributors go ;_; I fully understand that dealing with packaging and additional chores such as the main signing key eats a lot of time (it is always an uphill battle after all). I will create a ticket for the main signing key removal (so that we can track who will need additional signatures, if any) and packager key removal (so that we can check which packages need rebuilding) for you. All the best for your future and see you around! Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
