ah, thanks for CCing me, since I'm not subscribed to the -edu@ list. I forgot to

But i guess you and Petter are subscribed, so I won't CC you. Please tell me
whether you'd prefer me being subscribed.

YAY!
Two DD interested is great anyway, whatever they can actually do :)
That means the bus factor is rasonably lower. And even if this is not due to a
bus but just to me being more interested in staring at a beer (rather than
drinking it) than in keeping the package updated.

I actually did nothing than looking at the package state.
From my pov these are the following steps:
1) checking against the MIA db whether the process started or the person is
really MIA (not being a DD means i don't have access to quantz)
2) If yes I'd do a "co-hijack", that is, uploading a package adding ourselves to
Uploaders:
3) if you ack (and someone do the 1) i can then run `gbp import-dscs --debsnap`
to get a working place and upload that to collab-maint (if someone disagree
to using git then, meh, i'm sorry, dunno what to do ;))
4) i can do the work needed this first time, namely:
* update the package to last upstream release https://bugs.debian.org/759229
* update the description https://bugs.debian.org/759227
* add the homepage field https://bugs.debian.org/765556
* rewrite d/rules to use dh(1)
* check the build process and
+ verify the hardening build flags are ok
+ include whatever is someone left out https://launchpad.net/bugs/1404027
* fix old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file lintian warning
5) it's on my plan for the future experimenting with cme(1). "Unfurtunatly" all
my packages already have a d/copyright already up-to-date using dep5 and
messing with cme on such already done changelog seems just loosing time. Yet,
i am interested in learning+experimenting with that tool and this package
seems perfect (no dep5 copyright, few files with few licenses). So i'm
willing to rewrite the d/copyright (far future, might also be after dc15)
This is my general plan.
> I'll try to jump in where you cannot do the work.
I guess you can jump in wherever you want in the list above (please left point
5 to me!) ;)
Expecially apprecieted would be doing 1 and then upload the package (i can't do
that myself yet, hopefully before dc15 i'll have enough powers!)
Thanks for volunteering! :D
I'm more interested in "general QA" rather than in the package itself, so most
probably after doing this initial bits you'll be most probably alone. Not that
i'm going to disappear, but i'll for sure less interested than now.
