Start by retitling the existing RFA bug for roxterm into an ITA and use that as the bug to be closed by the potentially sponsored upload. (I'm not likely to sponsor this particular one, just pointing out the existing RFA bug into an ITA.) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=535246 You've already replied to that bug report, you only need to retitle it. Check 'man bts' (bts is in the devscripts package). > The name of the packe is roxterm; if I use my own deb structure > instead of Thierry's there may also be packages called roxterm-data, > roxterm-lang-en, roxterm-lang-en-gb.

It should probably be uploaded to mentors.debian.net for sponsoring - many sponsors require the use of that site, not SF. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
