Debian is currently frozen. And in Ubuntu I am not planning to go ahead of Debian (unstable/experimental). You should talk to Debian lvm2 maintainers to get lvm2 updated in experimental if that's a pre-requisite for your package. I didn't review your package yet. While packaging in git is good, can you please generate a debian source package and upload it into a dgetable location? E.g. mentors.debian.net ? (that website also checks for common errors ahead of sponsors). Regards, Dmitrijs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
