Bug#374106: Intent to adopt debnest
The debnest package hasn't seen a real update since October 2004 and
was marked as orphaned in June 2006. Deepak Tripathi posted an intent
to adopt this summer, but hasn't made any upload.
As debnest fits perfectly in a project I'm doing I would like to have
debnest maintained and developed. For this I have created an alioth
project[0] and comitted the source to svn[1]. I have made the
following enhancements
* Better integration with cdbs to enable support for other patchs
systems
* Recursive unpacking of nested packages
* Unpack sources in unversioned directories to ease handling of
patches between versions of nested packages
all of which I currently need. I have some other plans for development
outlined in the TODO file[2]. If no-one complains I plan to upload a
new version of debnest within a fortnight (if ftp-master is fixed).
