Hello, I'm directly writing to the Debian FTP Team to solve the issue with fprint. Since the discussion started on debian-devel, I set the R-T and M-F-T headers to point to debian-devel and bug #438922 [1]. This because the latter is the first ITP for fprint and it's owned by the FingerForce team (the primary place for discussion about fingerprint software on Debian).

Debian distribution at which fprint is targeted hasn't been decided yet: I'm in favor of experimental, while other group members are OK with unstable 2) Kenshi Muto packaged fprint to use the AES2501 fingerprint reader in his new Fujitsu LOOX U50 ultra mobile PC [3] 3) Emfox Zhou's packages were updated to NEW [4] no more than 6 hours after his ITP (#460493 [5]), effectively giving no time to reply to the ITP with the concerns above Now, since Emfox asked how to solve this situation [6], I think the best thing would be the FTP team to reject Emfox's packages (at the moment of writing this mail still in NEW). Then Emfox can join the Debian FingerForce Team and work from there on the fprint packages :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438922 [2] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/fingerforce-devel/2008-January/000056.html [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438922#16 [4] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=9;bug=460493 [5] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460493 [6] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=438922#25
