Hi, I find myself to have from time to time less spare time and/or motivation than some of the packages I maintain deserve. So the dash Debian package.
I'm looking for volunteers that are willing to help with maintaining dash. Most of the work is relaying bug reports to upstream, judging and including prospective fixes if upstream is unresponsive, preparing patches for bugs, and the usual bug reports management. dash has outstanding RC bugs. Some are a left-over from the /bin/sh transition from bash to dash, and still unresolved. IIRC Thorsten Glaser had some ideas on how to proceed, but we never discussed anything in this regard. Luk Claes and Raphael Geissert were involved in initiating the transition, but seem to no longer be able to contribute to the resulting RC bugs. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538822 I set up a mailing list to coordinate work on the dash package. If you're interested in helping, please subscribe to the <debian-package-dash> mailing list by sending an email to <debian-package-dash-subscr...@list.smarden.org>, and start to discuss and contribute. Thanks for your help. Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
