Hi all, In follow up to my message above. The package now has a sponsor I am working with. Actions: * Perform a few fixes. * Update debian related files to match new project policies. * Move my rednotebook debianized tree onto debians new salsa gitlab instance. * Have sponsor process package into debian and close associated bug reports. Estimated time for the above is around two weeks. I am busy at present, so do not all start screaming at me if we are a few days out. :-) Regards Phil - -- *** If this is a mailing list, I am subscribed, no need to CC me.*** Playing the game for the games sake.
