-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi all!
Since quite some time i've learned to make and have been been making a few packages the Debian way and i'm considering to contribute them to the Debian project. These packages so far are: * isapnptools-1.10 (see "http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/";) * junkbuster-1.4 (see "http://internet.junkbuster.com/";) * xaw3d-dev-1.3 (see "ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/Xaw3d/";) Is there already anybody working on these packages and thus making my efforts unnecessary? Above all i'd like to officially provide my own original package "equivs-1.0.3", which is a dummy package used to circumvent dpkg's sometimes completely undesired dependency complaints. I made this package because i preferred to install and maintain a teTeX tree different from the official Debian version in "/usr/local/" so that i might take advantage of Thomas Esser's update shell scripts without having to worry about possibly screwing up my Debian system. Then there are some Debian packages already maintained by someone else which i've started to update with the current original upstream releases making some unofficial Debian packages. The official Debian package maintainers are IMHO too much behind on updating the packages provided with Debian. These packages currently are: * mc-4.0 (see "http://mc.blackdown.org/mc/";), currently officially maintained by "Fernando Alegre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". * xkeycaps-2.35 (see "http://home.netscape.com/people/jwz/xkeycaps/";), currently officially maintained by ??? * wget-1.4.5 (see "ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/";), currently officially maintained by "J. Ramos Goncalves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" * gv-3.5.8 (see "http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/";), currently officially maintained by "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". If the official maintainers can't provide more current versions and don't mind to give their packages away i'd be delighted to take them over in the hope to make Debian much more up to date. All these unofficial packages can be downloaded from our institute's FTP site at "ftp://ietpd1.sowi.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/";. Note that i have no programmer's background and that i'm more or less limited to simply repackage the original upstream sources without touching anything of their code internals. But i don't think this should be necessary anyway.
