Hy, situation: The package obexpushd is RFA. It currently has some debian-related bugs and a security problem. There is also a new upstream version (not packaged but fixing the security problem). I got a new package ready, fixing all debian-bugs, updating to the most recent upstream version and updating the debian/rules and debian/controls. Now my problem: I want this package to be included in debian. I asked the current maintainer, but as he hasnt got the time to look at my package he cant help. So I thought of searching for a sponsor to upload the package using mentors.debian.org. Is this the right way? If yes, how do you handle the maintainer-field in this case? Do I upload a NMU (adding -nmu1 to the version) or do I add myself to the maintainer-field in debian/control? Im asking because lintian claims that its a nmu upload and I should add the -nmu1 version. So how do you handle this. Sorry for the novice questions, but its my first public package and my first contact with debian packaging. Thanks -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik@dbruhn.de
