Thanks--that sounds like exactly what we need! The code is already set
up as a Debian native package, and even testing it would make little
sense unless we had the packaging up to date with the source tree.
Is this a recent policy change BTW? Reading your message I thought I'd
look up any information I could find for myself, but the first thing I
came across was:
[ http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-upload.en.html ]
| Debian New Maintainers' Guide
| Chapter 8 - Uploading the package
|
| Now that you have tested your new package thoroughly, you will be ready
| to start the Debian new maintainer application process, as described at
| http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint
| 8.1 Uploading to the Debian archive
|
| Once you become an official developer, you'll need to upload the package
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| to the Debian archive.
So that still assumes that you need to be a developer. And if I follow
the link:
[ http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint ]
| Debian New Maintainers' Corner
|
| The Debian New Maintainer process is a series of required proceedings to
| become a Debian developer.
Is this something that needs to be updated?
