I also would be happy if wicd would be back in shape in Debian, so I'd of course sponsor it again, too. > In this case, I'll be *very* happy to see you maybe fork the git > repository here http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wicd.git > > (maybe on a github repository? just to avoid initial messing of the repo). Indeed. > you might want to make the packaged 1.7.3 version uploaded on Debian > (it is already on the master branch) The main reason why I haven't uploaded it as QA upload already is that wicd-curses is slightly broken since 1.7.3. This likely requires patching upstream code to get it fixed.

As mentioned before, I'd even co-maintain it and would care about general packaging, but I don't feel python-savvy enough to patch upstream code or fix python-specific packaging issues. > The new release is already imported in git, so it might just be a > matter of rebasing patches, That's already done.
