Thanks Jeff! I have no time line in mind. The sooner the better I suppose since this is the head space I am in right now. Using the following checklist as a guide:
http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/sponsorship_checklist.html I'd have to assume the next step, for me, is to try and get the package to build in Unstable. While the next step for you would be to look over my debian/* files for sanity. Does that sound right? If that's right then we can proceed asynchronously for now. I can try to get it to go on Sid and you can respond with comments/suggestions on the stuff I've already linked to once you get a chance. Here's the url again: http://panacea.canonical.org/~matthew/pylucene-debian.tar.gz On a related note I'm mostly, but not exclusively, interested in this making it into backports.org. You have any idea how that happens? I'm still interested in seeing PyLucene in Unstable but having a backports.org package available for Sarge would be neat too. However, first things first I suppose. As for Ubuntu, no connection. About a decade ago a bunch of my friends and I bought canonical.org based on the famous Richard Stallman / Guy Steele quote "You just used 'canonical' in the canonical way".
