Looks like you've even got two to choose from: * #178165: ITP: openexr -- High dynamic-range image format for computer imaging Package: wnpp; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Jay Bonci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; 91 days old. * #178317: ITP: openexr -- A high dynamic-range image file format by ILM Package: wnpp; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Andrew Lau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; 90 days old. Have you contacted either (or both) of the people listed in these bug reports to ask them what's going on? That's probably a better way to find out if there are problems in the packaging (although if there were problems, the prospective packager should have contacted you about them). About the only guaranteed way to expedite getting anything into Debian is to make sure the licence is DFSG free and then either do it yourself (if you're a DD) or make a contractual arrangement with a DD to package it and submit it for inclusion. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer, Geek In Residence http://ieee.uow.edu.au/~mjp16
