There was a game emulator (osmose-emulator) where you wanted to pack, but unfortunately you rejected it because of incorrect copyright. So much so that I solved this problem and the other DD that accepted my first package was "Antonio Terceiro", who even indicated joining the "Debian Games Team" where this will help me improve the future games that I will package. I had a great advance adding new games in Debian: +2 packages in Debian Stretch (osmose-emulator and runescape); +3 packages in Debian Buster (pokemmo-installer, JAG and blastem); +1 package in Debian Bullseye (pekka-kana-2). And I'm always updating and making improvements to these packages. > My last technical contact with Carlos was in DebConf 19, when I organized > a 3-day Packaging Workshop.

I admire and congratulate your packaging workshop, so much so that in those four years I went to MiniDebConf and DebConf, where I spent my days of the week and away from my family and work to learn how to improve packaging and even learn about "autopkgtest" with you. I apologize if I left you as a sloppy fellow. I am a person who listens more, talks less and works hard to learn new things. > Sorry to say it, but I have no doubts that Carlos, currently, have no > skills to work with their own packages unsupervised. I do not agree with this, because who can say, it is the sponsors who accompanied my development with the packages I have in Debian. I don't think it's fair that a single (fondu) package thinks I don't have the skills to continue my work with packages that are in Debian, where you have never reviewed them. > Finally, I would like to remember that recently Carlos joined the NM to > ask to become DD upload and the results were catastrophic.
