Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer



Hi

For me it is ok, I am just a newbie in packaging.

I have received help from a debian mentor Anibal Montalve Salazar <anibal@debian.org>, but I got no references for gbp
 (yet another Debian packaging toolchain ? )

what is exactly a collab-maint repository,  a Git repo for the package host somewhere ?


I am ok with whatever, Plz go ahead creating the repo (if have permissions).


Regards
Ivan

Hi All,

As there are at least 3 persons ( including me :) ) interesting in the
package, I think it will be a good use case for a collab-maint repository.
Further I suggest to use gbp [0] and also switch to debhelper.

I've played a bit already with the package and ready to push the first
draft.

Shell I go ahead and create the collab-main/hdparm.git ?  ( hope I still
have the rights for it )

Regards,
Alex
