Hi Ken,
First, I'm sorry your message was ignored for a long time. One of the quirks of the debian bug tracker is that messages are not automatically forwarded to all participants, so probably no-one saw your message until today :( On Thu, 14 Apr 2016 13:21:19 -0600 Ken Dreyer <kdre...@redhat.com> wrote: > I've wanted to become a Debian packager for a while now, and I'm > interested in maintaining this package in Debian/Ubuntu. What is the > next step? Excellent! I hope you are still interested. If so, the first step is to get in contact with Andreas (CCed). The git repository is located in collab-maint, so you need to apply to that project to get write access to the repository (see details at [1]). As usual with git, you can create a separate repo elsewhere in the meantime and have your changes merged by Andreas. If you aren't very familiar with packaging, there are plenty of resources online[2]. This package repository uses git-buildpackage so reading its manual would be a good idea too[3]. As far as package-specific work is concerned, it appears to me that the main needs are: - Coordinate with udisks2 maintainers (CCed), as storaged now provides the same APIs as udisks2. Possibly drop udisks2 in favor of storaged. - Package the dependencies for the plugins so that they work. As noted by Andreas there are already PPAs with packages[4], so probably starting from there is a good idea. Others may comment on whether more work is needed.
