Am joined to the lists. Am looking through guidelines. I maintain packages at pkg-perl. I'm familiar with the basics of git, quilt, and the dh scripts, so if someone can help me get started, I will probably be able handle most of the updating. My immediate questions are: 1) The app, mma, is not in your repository. Is that something I can introduce? 2) I seem to recall that a debian package does not include all the files used to create it. If so, is there a source for the original package? (The source code package, perhaps?) Pointer to appropriate references will be welcome.
