Re: RFH: wireless-regdb

Hi Ben,

On my side, as DM, I would like to maintain more packages in Debian so I can continue to improve my skills on this topic.

I am currently maintaining raspi-firmware, but that's a binary blob and a package in non-free, even if I am happy with it, non-free

is not the most interesting place to learn things, imho..  :)  (at least not completely compared to "main")

I am part of the kernel-team (at least, I think) and I would be very happy to help you to co-maintain this package.

The only blocking issue I see is perhaps the fact that I am a DM (I mean, regarding certificate of the kernel)

Regards,

Romain

I've finally updated wireless-regdb this week, and it now provides the
kernel-loadable regulatory.db file.  However, with the certificate
embedded in the kernel, it's even less practical for anyone to NMU
wireless-regdb if necessary.

I don't want to be the single point of failure for this package.
So I'm looking for a co-maintainer, preferably already in the kernel
team.  You would need to generate a signing key pair and certificate
(README.source has instructions for this) and we would then add this
certificate to the kernel.

Ben.
