Re: Sponsor vs. Developer Process?

kaging stuff, should be attempting a sponsored package. It shows you can package something. Your behaviour to bugs that come up or how you upgrade and maintain the package is a good "reference" for your debian maintainership. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D

Re: Sponsor vs. Developer Process?

ackage in the archive, you better have a good reason why. You might not be able to find a sponsor despite months of trying. That might be a good reason. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/
