I'm not good with words so instead I'll quote one of Russ's latest messages: [🔎] 871t9rlpwf.fsf@hope.eyrie.org">http://lists.debian.org/[🔎] 871t9rlpwf.fsf@hope.eyrie.org Mirabilos, You are right that new ports are hard but the biggest influence on others that uploading one more tiny package to Debian has is a small increase in metadata when people apt-get update their system. Why won't you let Waldemar try if his hobby project can work or not? In the worst case it can just stay in unstable and only enter testing after it matured. For all the technical complications you raised in your earlier messages Waldemar is already in good hands, getting help by fellow bootstrappers in #debian-bootstrap and they are in the process of setting up a rebootstrap [1] job for the new port. Waldemar, please don't feel discouraged and lets try and see whether your plan can fly :) cheers, josch [1] https://wiki.debian.org/HelmutGrohne/rebootstrap
