In my opinion it is always better to ask for sponsor via public mailing list like @deiban-mentors is, keeping need a sponsor `YES' in mentors webpage, simply because more that one sponsor could review and upload your package. I intend to sponsor cppcheck and I'm subscribed to that mailing list. Expect upstream wishlist bugs soon ;-) I'm still not sure if cppcheck could employ a formal grammar and parser generators (like bisonc++) to implement various checks, but that is a separate mail I intend to throw at you as upstream at some point. > - Should I do something to the bug report: > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503730 This in fact is my fault, since I forgot to pass -v option to dpkg-buildpackage in order to include your previous changelog entries. could you please close it manually, otherwise I will close it when pakcage hits unstable. > - Will the package now go to Debian testing?

Package is now hanging in Debian's NEW queue (since is new package which needs to be approved by ftpmasters /*these are humans*/) http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html then the package will be passed to autobuilders /*these are daemons*/ to be built on Debian's architectures. http://buildd.debian.org/build.php then comes installation to unstable (sid). > - What will happen to the package now that it is in the testing > (assuming it is there)?

Residing ten days in unstable without criticals bugs filed would lead to migration to testing, when testing is not frozen as it is now. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
