Volunteers needed: Work. Lots of Work.
Here is another list of things needing someone to look after.
Debmake gets more and more to be a time sucking beast. I have the feeling
that some aspects of it do not get the attention and development they
need (and other packages too). I have split off a few packages. Perhaps
some things can be managed better by other people? Some people who took
over some of my packages at my last post seem to be really doing a superb
job!
Packages written by me:
bug Bug Reporting tool. Was formerly a part of debmake. Needs
someone with fresh ideas on how to improve things.
alien Installation of RPM and Slackware packages under Debian.
Formerly a part of debmake. The one who takes this might
also want to take the RPM package below. Our school now
has everything running under Debian since we have a
working routed now (I tried to use RPMs gated for awhile).
There is quite a bit that could be done to improve
installation of foreign packages under Debian.
bridge Bridging Tools for Kernel 2.0.X.
bridgex Bridging Tools for Kernel 2.1.X.
anymore since we are now doing switching/routing instead.
Other packages I would like to have someone look after:
defrag Needs a major Revision/Fixup of the sourcecode and made
available for other architectures than i386. This is
something for an expert.
linux86 The former ELKS package. I dont use it right now.
Contains lots of interesting 8086 code.
fdos FreeDOS. There are issues on the fdos mailing list that
need attention. New release pending.
ibcs I dont use it since the application we tried to use did not
work.
rpm There are issues here needing work. I dont get to track down
one rather serious bug reported by Joey. Perhaps someone
else knows more about RPM?
Other stuff not needing work which are available for new maintainers:
