Dear Debian MIA Team, I made a small patch for the jscal.c in the joystick package.
I then tried to contact the maintainer, Edward Betts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 09/17/2007, with no success. As recommended on the page 'Debian Developer's Reference Chapter 7 / Dealing with inactive and/or unreachable maintainers', I tried to gather information on Edward Betts: - his debian home page http://people.debian.org/~edward/ does not seem to have content newer than 08-Dec-2005 - according to http://asdfasdf.debian.net/~tar/bugstats/?edward%40debian.org, he has not uploaded anything for two years - there are 2 patches against hist joystick package that are not included, the latest dates from 01 Nov 2005 - searching for Edward Betts on google, I have not noticed anything after 2005 Unfortunately going to the developers' LDAP database (https://db.debian.org/) did not yield the date when he last posted to a Debian mailing list (this was suggested in the Developers' Reference). Please show me the way I can have my patch included in jscal.c of the joystick package. I believe it is useful and I immediately wanted to share it with others. This however turns out to be a lot more difficult than I expected. Edward Betts seems to be unavailable for almost two years now, and so there is nobody to apply my - or the other 2 in the queue - patch to the source. I thank you for your kind help in advance.
