Dear Klaus and Steve,
Fist of all, thank you Klaus for proposing your help on dcraw. In 2008, the
package was in a similar situation, and Steve eventually prepared an update. I
recommend to the people concerend by the state of dcraw to have a look at the
following thread on debian-mentors@l.d.o:
http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/91f186a80807081226n4d4567feu96daf465fefa42d@mail.gmail.com
Steve is maintaining dcraw for six years, and his experience is definitely an
asset for such a package that can affect Debian’s image a lot. (no bad joke ;)
But on the other hand, I think that the situation could be better if dcraw were
team-maintained rather than updated once a year. Steve, what do you think about
this?
PS: and of course, this discussion has to move to another list as soon as it
enters into technical details about packaging issues.
Have a nice day,
