Thanks--that sounds like exactly what we need! The code is already set up as a Debian native package, and even testing it would make little sense unless we had the packaging up to date with the source tree. Is this a recent policy change BTW? Reading your message I thought I'd look up any information I could find for myself, but the first thing I came across was: [ http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-upload.en.html ] | Debian New Maintainers' Guide | Chapter 8 - Uploading the package | | Now that you have tested your new package thoroughly, you will be ready | to start the Debian new maintainer application process, as described at | http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint | 8.1 Uploading to the Debian archive | | Once you become an official developer, you'll need to upload the package ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | to the Debian archive. So that still assumes that you need to be a developer. And if I follow the link: [ http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint ] | Debian New Maintainers' Corner | | The Debian New Maintainer process is a series of required proceedings to | become a Debian developer. Is this something that needs to be updated? Jeroen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
