Exactly, the package is in good shape :) > So I suppose you are just planning ahread for the next release? Well, "for the next bug" I'd say. I don't know much C++, and I fear not being capable of fixing any non-trivial bug I might have filed in future. i.e. I don't believe I'm a good maintainer sourcecode-wise (and that's why I try to avoid maintaining C++ packages as much as possible :D) > How does package adoption work? Do you need to a debian developer (I > am not one, and from what I've heard, the it is a long process). You don't need to be a Debian Developer, but maintaining a library needs some packaging experience. From your questions I understand this would be your first package. I don't really feel like leaving a library to you yet (nothing personal :) -- I just see how packaging libraries often bite newcomers). I propose you to be a co-maintainer. This way, the library will be maintained by someone knowing C++ (you) and someone capable of packaging it, keeping the package Policy-conformant and the such (me) :) In case you're already involved with packaging, and are already maintaining libraries, then I'm happy to leave the package to you.
