community/netpbm: switch from super stable to stable or advanced
I like netpbm and would like some of the utilities and options that are included in the stable version but not in the currently packaged "super stable" version. It looks like most of the updates to the package since 2020 have been non-maintainer updates so I'm not sure how active the maintainer is. Two questions here:
- The super stable version seems to be the only "easy" tarball to get from main sourceforge site. Other versions have to be checked out with svn apparently. Gentoo uses a github helper: https://github.com/ceamac/netpbm-make-dist What would be the preferred way to switch to stable?
- I'm not sure if regular users like me can always see all the gitlab users. Can someone tag the maintainer in here if they have an account? I'd be interested in taking over as maintainer if needed and working on the switch to stable.
Thanks!
