Have you started to forward-port the old patches to a new package, or are you using a different approach?

Let me know how I can best fit in with your plans for this project. > I am cc'ing every person involved to make sure everyone can get in > touch easily.

I think this list is pretty good as long as we are talking about generalities, as I think some of the people on the list will have good suggestions. When we start to get into the details of patches and the package, maybe it will make sense to go off-list. > Hopefully, the fact that we have been working with upstream for years > will help us get this work done more easily. This is terrific. My patches are Debian-specific, and need some work to make them fit the needs of both upstream and Debian. This gives me hope that doing that work will help to actually get the patches into the upstream source! This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Thanks again, I look forward to working with you.
