I'm trying to summarize them: On Sat, 19 May 2007 10:27:20 +0200, Bart Martens wrote: > I suggest that you ask explicit permission from the person in the > "Maintainer:" field before doing this change. Sure, I'll cc the affected persons now.

At the moment there is no Uploader listed; Jay, may I suggest that your package and you join our Group? (No problem if you don't like the idea; in that case I'd move the package away in the repo.) > libtext-vfile-asdata-perl > Maintainer: Kjetil Kjernsmo <kjetil@kjernsmo.net> > (archive: Maintainer: Neil Williams <codehelp@debian.org>) I still have no idea what this package is doing in our repository; looking at the svn log (injected by Kjetil on 2006-12-01) and the package's ITP/changelog (ITP'd by Neil on 2007-01-04, uploaded on 2007-01-09) it seems that Kjetil started to package it but Neil correctly ITP'd it, uploaded it and now maintains it. - Kjetil, Neil, is this correct? If so I'll move it to attic/ - unless Neil joins our friendly group of course ;-) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : debian: the universal operating system - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `- NP: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds: There She Goes, My Beautiful World
