Please read through some of these pages: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers Most of the steps are the same as introducing a new package. So you need to file an ITP bug, do the package update, upload to mentors.d.n and then look for a sponsor. SInce you are reintroducing the package: You should take the latest Debian packaging from the Debian wayback machine instead of from any older version: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/wwwoffle/ You should also unarchive and reopen all the bugs that were closed in a version ending in +rm. If there are any such bugs that got fixed upstream, you should close those via debian/changelog as usual: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;dist=unstable;package=wwwoffle http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wwwoffle.html -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
