Notify Package maintainers of Split

[wiredfool]

Debian and Redhat currently package their sane packages from the Pillow source package. It would be good to notify them before the code drops for a new release.

I've emailed Matthias Klose for Debian: https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/python-imaging-sane

Hi, I'm the Fedora Pillow maintainer. Could you please tag a release, so that I know what version to use for the new python-sane package? Perhaps just call it 2.7.0 for continuity?

[manisandro]

Oh, and please add a license file.

[wiredfool]

Thanks for the PR. I agree with the 2.7 release number, given that Debian has also been incrementing the sane version along with Pillow.

[wiredfool]

Tagged, updated changes and readme a bit with the new versions and maintainer status.

[manisandro]

Ok, thanks! By the way, having worked a bit with SANE, I can maintain this if desired. Not expecting much to happen, but if a bug report comes in, I can look at fixing it.

[wiredfool]

@manisandro You should be invited to admin this repo. Use your newfound powers (such as they are) for good.

[manisandro]

Ok, thanks! I suppose this ticket here can be closed, Debian having been notified and Fedora being the upstream of the other Redhat distros, they'll get the changes next time they sync with Fedora.

[wiredfool]

OK, let me know if you need anything.

[manisandro]

Ok! The note about non-active maintenance can be removed I suppose?

[wiredfool]

Yep, now that it's done its job and attracted a maintainer.

[manisandro]

Right :) Done.
