RFS: lilo (updated package)



Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1:23.1-1 of my package
"lilo".

It builds these binary packages:
lilo       - LInux LOader - the classic OS boot loader
lilo-doc   - LInux LOader - Documentation for the classic OS boot loader

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 158955, 244741, 278373, 287257, 304065,
306472, 325235, 335084, 339778, 389328, 409663, 428390, 431077, 459714,
504267, 522283, 590022, 596258, 599934

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lilo
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lilo/lilo_23.1-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Some notes: 
- This package goes into unstable, ready for squeeze+1.
- This package can be build an Ubuntu systems, too (without changes).

Kind regards
 Joachim Wiedorn
