If I would be too much conservative, I would say that you are hijacking StumpWM (yes, it is a bit outdated, but there are not big problems with that). However, that would not be me, and having attended this year DebConf10 "Bits from the DPL" <http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/569.en.html> (and also being listed as myself and team in <http://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu>), you are more than welcome to get StumpWM (and I was only delaying my orphaning...). > The package appears to be lintian clean. Either it is or not, always try to be as hardest as possible with lintian ;-) > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stumpwm > - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable > main contrib non-free > - dget > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stumpwm/stumpwm_20100709.gitf6262b0-1.dsc Given that the team policy is to maintain packages through a VCS (mainly Git), if you ask for sponsorship on the team list only (as it seems you did, no [B]cc: to debian-mentors@), I would say that the team sponsor should be able to simply work with the VCS repository and the Debian-specific building tool (e.g. git-buildpackage). Given that you created everything already, this time I simply rebuilt your .dsc. > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Some "problems": 1) your OpenPGP key is not available on hkp://subkeys.pgp.net, please upload it with `gpg --send-key --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 17C7B4BA`. Hint: subkeys.pgp.net is a round-robin server <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS>. 2) I am not so familiar with source-format-3.0, but AFAIK you must not depend on quilt anymore, if you do not specifically use quilt in debian/rules. Which means that every quilt usage except applying/removing patches in debian/rules is useless, but *again* I am not familiar with source-format-3.0... 3) `lintian --verbose --info --display-info --display-experimental --show-overrides --color auto --md5sums $PACKAGE` gives W: stumpwm source: newer-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.0) The only change which should interest you is: 11.4, 11.8.3, 11.8.4 Packages providing alternatives for `editor', `pager', `x-terminal-emulator', or `x-window-manager' should also provide a slave alternative for the corresponding manual page. I do not remember if this version is the one intended for squeeze or not: if it is, it would be better to comply to that. However, given that StumpWM does not provide an x-window-manager alternative (while it should, it seems I faulty remember I added it), it would be better to fix both "bugs" with the next upload. If you do not react in the next 3 days, I will upload the version above. Finally, I would strongly suggest you to start the process to become (at least) Debian Maintainer <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer>, which means that once you have obtained this status, you will be able to upload by yourself the packages you maintain (after previous "approval" in debian/control). This speeds things a bit ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
