Hi Lucas, All new packages into debian require a sponsor. A sponsor is a debian developer with upload rights that takes on and validates the new package to be of the quality to enter debian. The sponsor should work with the submitter to work out any issues and once the developer is happy, they would then upload to the debian archive for build and inclusion within the OS proper and close all related ITP (Intent To Package) and RFS (Request For Sponsorship) bugs reports[1]. Sponsor vs Maintainer ... As I said a sponsor is an existing debian developer with upload rights. The maintainer (day to day) of a package is usually the submitter of the package. In this case the day to day maintainer of the package once accepted back into debian would be me. Every time Jendrik pushes out a release, I would pick it up, build and test it, debianize it and then upload it. When the package was submitted to debian, developers for the project wanted some changes as a seperate 'debian' folder that was not part of upstream and the changelog should be a continuation of the one that was in debian previously back in the rednotebook 1.x days. All fixes went to Jendrik and upstream and all external 'debian' folder data is hosted by me at: https://gitlab.com/kathenas_external/debian/rednotebook I am going to reach out to certain debian developers over this weekend and try and push for someone to look at it. If I get no joy by early next week, I will email you guys and maybe go for a more public 'What does it take to get into debian, the sponsorship process is flawed?' type of campaign. :-) [1] All package submissions are organised via the debian bug tracking system. Regards Phil P.S. Can we please do bottom posting for better conversation flow. Thanks. - -- *** If this is a mailing list, I am subscribed, no need to CC me.*** Playing the game for the games sake.
