-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there,
i am a so-far happy long-time-user of debian and now would like to give something back to the debian project. Now i've seen a while ago that the package smstools is far from the upstream smstools (and has not been changed since a year, except a security issue by s.d.o), what is bad, because upstream has slightly changed and improved smstools (they perform better and contain less errors - i use them in a production environment much more successful since a while). Also the upstream author has changed, with a new branch 3.0 of smstools. Now i asked the maintainer of this package, if he lost time on this project or something like that. He did not respond. But he seems to be active otherwise and i know he might be busy because of the upcoming release. But how to go on with this? I would happily package further versions of smstools if someone let me. I even have packaged a current version on-top of the original maintainers work. I've uploaded it to mentors.d.o but i'm unsure if i should RFS because it *has* a maintainer. Maybe it would be an alternative to add a new package smstools3? d.m.o address: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=smstools What do you think should i do?
