Calf Plugins [Was: Re: Introducing myself]
Hi All,
I thought I would try and help Erich & Ubuntu Studio by taking a look at
Calf yesterday.

I have applied Erich's debdiff on top of our salsa git repo.
Unfortunately, it seems a bit of a mix of CDBS and debhelper packaging
at the moment. But it sort of works.

Jonas,
I am close to having a tidy package using debhelper. Before I finish it,
and push the changes, I would like to check how attached to Calf you
are. I can drop you from Uploaders if you prefer and add myself (and
hopefully Erich later, once he gets the hang of working in Debian).
Regards,
Ross
