Package: wnpp Severity: urgent Owner: Peter Antoniac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
As the maintainer for libdc1394 didn't answer for many months, we (developers of libdc1394) would like to get involved also with maintaining the package. Moreover, the maintainer didn't follow our recommandations not to pack the libdc1394 version 2.0 until we release it (and he packed it at RC7). It will be also better for the stability of the package if the developers have also something to say in the packaging. For example, we have releases the new version with doxygen generated web pages, pdf's and ps documentation, so there is more documentation available for the developers. We also think that what is now called libdc1394-examples should be called -utils, as the binaries are more like utilities for the library. We have already done some packaging and testing using the Ubuntu PPA tools, and you can already see the fruits of our work here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11427933/libdc1394v2_2.0.1-1ubuntu1.dsc and the source is here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11427931/libdc1394v2_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz with the diffs available here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11427932/libdc1394v2_2.0.1-1ubuntu1.diff.gz You can also check our PPA builded packages here: https://launchpad.net/~libdc1394-dev/+archive and the Ubuntu project team link is here: https://launchpad.net/libdc1394 * Package name : libdc1394v2 Version : 2.0.1 Upstream Author : Peter De Schrijver (p2) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394 * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C Description : The maintainer failing to responde.
