Recently James Youngman jay_gnu.org has taken over upstream maintainership for findutils, which fills me with hope for a /nice/ findutils debian package. I intend to do this: * upload 4.1.20. Repack findutils from scratch using debhelper and dpatch. * Commit the forwarded bugs to upstream's BTS on savannah.[1] * Clean up the BTS. * Search a co-maintainer (Thomas?), after I've done at least part of the dirty work. Comments? Is it ok to hijack the package? cu andreas [1] I have not interacted with it a lot, is it possible to send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
