Re: Dream packaging

Thanks for the welcome - I think I'm getting the hang of the process slowly and it's great you folks will help with actually getting Dream into Debian - I don't have any great need to 'be' the debian person myself if I don't need to be.

My Alioth username is jcable-guest.

If you can give me your Alioth username, I can add you to the Debian Hams
team.

The NM process is, as Colin said, for people that have been around a while.
You don't need to be a Debian Maintainer or Debian Developer to join the
team and we'll be able to help you along with your packaging and then
sponsor the upload into Debian.

Once I add you to the team on Alioth, you'll be able to use the team's git
repositories.

There are instructions for this here:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHams/Git

Although there are a few things in there I've missed out and need to add.

For these packages it would be best to contact the Debian Multimedia Team as
they are the current maintainers:

Thanks,

Iain.
