Hello,

Just a clarification, the request was the same for multiple packages all part of the same group "ArchZFS" with different purposes (std, zen, lts, etc), all under the same developer who hasn't responded in quite some time. Hence the multiple requests that were effectively the same.

Thanks, Mike

Hey Mike, the zfs-linux* pkgbuilds are split pkgbuilds (zfs-linux and zfs-linux-headers) so you have to make only one request for each one

Hello, Ok, I realize what happened. Looking at the "submit request" form for the zfs-linux-headers package, I didn't realize the fact it is part of the zfs-linux base package which includes both, so when I submitted requests for zfs-linux-*-headers, it must have came across against the main package name. Regarding the reasoning behind orphaning them, these packages have not received a release since July. Multiple attempts have been made to contact the maintainer via email and github discussions with unfortunately no success, which is far beyond the wiki benchmark of two weeks. There is an active community working to resurrect the packages in the archzfs github (https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs), which several of us in the community now have access to in order to start building releases again. These packages need to track exactly with the corresponding linux-* kernel package versions, so do require releases frequently in order to be useful. Our intention from those of us now working in the GH is to start maintaining the packages again. Hopefully that answers your concerns, if not, please let me know what else you would need to accept the orphan request. Thanks, Mike Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

The duplicated requests were really duplicated.

You filed two requests for the package zfs-linux + two requests for zfs-linux-zen + two requests for zfs-linux-lts + two requests for zfs-linux-hardened

The duplicated requests were closed, so you have to await at least 8 days before the requests can be approved but I still am not convinced to approve them after the needed time to await.

As long the project is not forked or maintained again, why do you want to orphan these packages?
