Bug#414621: RFA: mini-dinstall -- daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
hello thomas, friends,
as i'm currently using mini-dinstall, i'd be delighted to perform
maintenance and / or development work on it.
of course, not being a dd places me in need of sponsorship, and your
offer thomas is being well accepted.
the version i'm currently using already contains substantial
improvements and closes most of the bugs filed against the package in
the past.
best regards,
alex
