Maintenance of cobol-mode.el on ELPA

Maintenance of cobol-mode.el on ELPA

[kristofer]

Greetings Emacs maintainers.

I noticed in the last update to the Elpa package; cobol-mode.el, that is now orphaned and that you are looking for someone to step up and maintain it.

I would be willing to take over that role if you would let me. I work with COBOL (IBM Enterprise COBOL) in my in daily work and use Emacs
together with cobol-mode.el to do it. My emacs-lisp skills are mediocre at best but I will do my best to fix bugs and keep it working. But my ambition is to work on the missing features listed in the package, update it to include changes in the COBOL standards, improve the indentation and maybe in the future work on a tree-sitter implementation.

I do have very little knowledge about how a Elpa package like this is usually developed and how the commit process works so any information and tips are welcomed.

I have recently signed and sent in my FSF papers.

Best Regards
Kristofer Hjelmtorp

That sounds great!

Currently the repository is part of elpa.git itself, but if someone else
were to take over maintenance, we could switch it to mirroring some
external repository that you would create.  You can use any Git forge
you like (I'd personally recommend Codeberg or Sourcehut).

Any changes you push to that repository will automatically be
synchronised upstream.  To release a new package, you just have to bump
the ";; Version: ..." header at the top of the file.

How does that sound like to you?

Thanks.  Please tell us when you have your legal paperwork completed.

(I'll leave it to others to fill you in about ELPA practices.)

I will let you know when I have gotten confirmation from FSF that they have signed it.

That sounds great!
I'm in the process of setting up a repository on Sourcehut. I will let you know when it's ready!

I guess I just take the files from Elpa (just "cobol.el" from what I can see) and commit it to my new repo?

I think it would be better if you preserved the history by basing your
modifications on the branch in elpa.git:

  git clone -b externals/cobol-mode https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git

and then pushing that to SourceHut.

Thanks for the instructions!

I have created a new repository not at sourcehut; https://git.sr.ht/~hjelmtech/cobol-mode, and made one commit to change the maintainer. 

Does it look good, or should I change something?

It looks good to me, and the ELPA build system isn't complaining either.
If you are ready and there are do objections, I can update elpa.git to
mirror your repository.

Oh, I misunderstood that.  In that case we have to wait anyway.  Ping me
when it's done, I assume that anyone with comments on the issue will
have had enough time to send a message until then.

I don't see Kristofer in the copyright file ATM.

So Kristofer I think would be good if you could ping FSF, if don't
succedee let me know and I can contact them to understand what's going
on.
