@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadronHow recent must the latest upstream commit be for a package to be considered maintained?04:58:22
@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadron * How recent must the latest upstream commit be for a package to be considered maintained w.r.t not immediately dropping them as unmaintained during ZHF?04:58:46
@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadronI found a couple of broken packages that have been unmaintained for 6+ months05:00:17
@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadron * I found a couple of broken packages that have been unmodified for 6+ months, and another that has been last modified in October, but no longer builds in upstream's CI, nor in someone's Ubuntu install, nor in Hydra.05:03:14
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]I'd say if they're not building in upstream's CI then it would be reasonable to drop it. If upstream can't maintain it, then we shouldn't try to either. If it was working in ours, I'd see no reason to drop, but since it doesn't, I'm in favor of dropping05:12:00
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI would say it's not healthy if ZHF is the only thing keeping a package going05:15:44
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyi.e. if there's no expectation it won't just end up getting fixed again by someone else in a couple ZHFs time05:16:13
