I'll ask them if they need any help =) I've got a little history about that... I wanted to package stuff for debian, so I choose airoscript, it's already been... two years maybe. When I sent the ITP, It was rejected due to airoscript's poor development (it was without devel for months), so I talked to upstream and adopted the development, that, and many other projects got all of my time, and I couldn't get into debian packaging Right now I'm willing to revive that intentions, starting from where I left. While this is still unresolved, I'm going to check if there's some needs-adoption package that I might be interested in packaging =) > >> Until this is fixed, there is little point in packaging an UI for it. > > I agree.

Then It makes sense to not get airoscript into debian until aircrack-ng does it. It's an unresolvable dependence after all. I already have a package done for it, ready for when aircrack-ng solves its license problems. > Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
