There'd be many who would be interested in solving problems than maintaining packages. @Sirish: If the theme is to scope it around India, we should look at the needs here and then relate it to Debian. Extending package management tools is one. There might be other also. How about ask someone here to take all daemon packages in Debian, systemd-ize them, and then send an assessment report ? :-) Or evaluate the state of MAC in Debian. Debian being general purpose, does not have a single focus. In this example, we have SELinux, (recently) AppArmor, perhaps SMACK also. What is there status in terms of completeness? The last time I had interest in SELinux in Debian, I found numerous issues. Mostly given the fact that SELinux has a centralized policy handling for packages. People might want to look at contributing to things that has a wider reach and visibility. (That is not to say that pkg maintenance is a unimportant job. It is equally widely reached and visible.) -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
