Hi Adnan, Thanks for your interest in adopting Azureus/Vuze. It can be a pretty tough package to maintain. I've also learned the hard way that it is best to be a daily (or at least regular) user of a package you maintain. It can be a fair bit of work, and it can be embittering if you're not sharing in the benefits of using the program.
If you feel you're up to it, you can start by preparing an upload of SWT 3.4.1, which I've found easier to maintain than Vuze, although it has its own quirks as well. If that goes well for you, you can prepare an upload of Vuze 4.1.0.2. You can track how upstream versions differ from Debian's versions here: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=sjack...@debian.org I don't see you in the Debian new maintainer queue: https://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php How is your application progressing?
