The Debian GIS team is not against the new package, there is simply not a lot of manpower in the team to maintain all our existing packages. You clearly have an interest in the gpsmaster package, so I invite you to help co-maintain it within the team. There are only a handful of people somewhat active in the team, and not munch Java expertise, but for that latter the debian-java list is a good option. Please refer to the Debian GIS Policy for the team specific documentation: https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/index.html#introduction Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
