about Alan Aversa (also known as Caterino Tommaso, T.O.P.).<br>
<br>
We've tried to reach this maintainer via email several times over the<br>
past few weeks, including posting to the mailing list. We have also<br>
tried sending messages on LQ.<br>
<br>
This person has been breaking two of the rules:<br>
<br>
- Submitting updates for other peoples' builds without permission.<br>
<br>
- Not basing his updates on our changes, when we have to change<br>
something in one of his builds. E.g. anki does not require Markdown,<br>
and we removed it from REQUIRES, but every time he updates anki, he<br>
re-adds Markdown to REQUIRES.<br>
<br>
Since this has been going on for a while now, and we can't reach him<br>
to explain why this isn't allowed, we're giving up.<br>
<br>
If anyone would like to take over any of these builds, please send<br>
an update (submission form or PR/MR) setting yourself as maintainer,<br>
and whatever other changes you'd like to make. Most of them need<br>
version updates.<br>
<br>
Anything that hasn't been taken by the next weekly update will be<br>
orphaned. We don't like to do this, but the bogus updates have caused<br>
us headaches and extra work. We're done.<br>
