Bug#515431: How to adopt a package



Olá Rafael.

Take a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l3 :

Removing entries

The procedures for closing these bugs are as follows:
O 	If you are going to adopt a package, retitle its bug to replace "O"
with "ITA", in order for other people to know the package is being adopted and
to prevent its automatic removal from the archive, and set yourself as the
owner of the bug. To actually adopt the package, upload it with your name in
its Maintainer: field, and put something like * New maintainer (Closes:
#bugnumber) in the changelog of the package in order to automatically close
this bug once the package has been installed; where bugnumber has to be
replaced with the corresponding bugreport number. Furthermore, before you
actually upload a new package with you as the maintainer, you should check if
there is a new upstream release and you should try to fix the outstanding
bugs.

If you have a doubt about any of these steps, don't hesitate to ask.

Good to see you're interested in Debian.

Até mais.
