RFS: gpsd - GPS (Global Positioning System) service daemon (bugfix upload)

Hi, I'm looking for a one-time sponsor for the gpsd package. My usual sponsor is not available at the moment, and the new upload would fix a serious bug. The changes to the previous revision consist of two lines only, not counting the changelog. Package is here:

disabling services: update-rc.d vs. /etc/default/

Hi, I'm packaging a daemon (gpsd), and I want to give the user the choice if it should be started at boot time or not (it's for GPS receivers, which are most likely not permanently attached to the computer). I have a debconf question to this effect, and currently I am setting a variable in /etc/d

minimum package name length

Hi, I'm intending to package the Cluster Command & Control tool suite [0], commonly refered to as C3. My package name of choice would be c3, but I was wondering if such short names are acceptable. Is there any documentation or general consent? When looking at the existing names, I noticed that th
