Membership application & introduction.
Dear list,
I'm in the process of packaging opencpn. One of it's dependencies is
libwxsvg which has a history in the multimedia group and thus needs to
be resurrected here. My idea is to maintain that package within the group.
I have subscribed to the debian-multimedia mailing list and a have a
salsa account.
I have been maintaining packages in Fedora since long. In Debian I
maintain the lirc package (+ some deps) which actually is non-trivial. I
undertook this because I suffered as upstream from the too old Debian
package. The lirc maintenance has been done using sponsors on
mentors.debian.net.
Lately, I have been working with opencpn. As clearly demonstrated in [2]
I have a lot to learn - I wouldn't describe myself as an experienced
packager. Hopefully I could learn, though.
If required, I could certainly review the work of others. As of now, I
would need someone looking over my shoulder in that case.
If there are questions, this is the place to ask...
Cheers!
