IMHO too much intrusive. Is > there any public discussion with the current maintainer? What does he think > about this? The current maintainer doesn't say anything. He's not said anything for a very long time. You can see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2011/05/msg00059.html He didn't react to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598162 bug reported on 2010, without any answer. I answered on 2011, July, no answer. Actually I'm alone to make this bug live, so I tend to think the maintainer has disappeared as he must have been notified of all these messages (from BTS and from the mailing list). Moreover there was a request from an user, twice. > For future posts to this list I'd recommend putting the source upload > directly available either on mentors.debian.net or on your own web server. > The wrapped up tar.bz2 including source and binary is not very handy to > review. ah ok sorry. I couldn't understand well how to use mentors.debian.net, and I've problems to set and test the right permissions on my server when I do subdirectories. Would you have some full doc about mentors.debian.net? I mean: I've an account on alioth, should I create one on mentors.debian.net? Then uploading? > > Anyway, if an NMU would be required, please post the statement of the > current maintainer to go ahead and keep changes minimal.

I only update the package following what does upstream. I can show the changelog of source, but I don't know exactly what is done in the code as my skills in programming are very low. I know to package, but not very much more about programming, especially C. I can become new uploader but I guess there's a process. And I upgrade from a deprecated release to the last one, it implies to upgrade from a stable to a 2-releases newer release. > N.b. if you're NMUing you should not use the regular -1 version suffix. I've not exactly understood this process too. Yes I do a NMU. But I don't know very good if I have to tell this in a more official way, how, ... I thought it was explicit via my changelog.debian and the bug I refer to. And the doc I found about NMU didn't say any specific tools or way to use the BTS to announce a NMU. > Thanks! Thanks for all your explanations and sorry but... I have some problems to understand the processes to become maintainer of this package, with all the rules. Thanks for your future explanations.
