You should have better looked in the BTS. There is a currently opened
ITP for owfs. I'm working on this packaging since a few weeks and I'm
ready to upload my pacakges to Debian sid. I'm "fixing" the last
"Info" flags from lintian...
All my packaging work is available in the collab-maint alioth project:
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/owfs.git;a=summary
I welcome any help for this packaging and would be very pleased if you
want to co-maintain it with me.
Please, look at my packaging and tell me (or even commit) improvment.
My packaging is based on dh and quilt. There are several patchs I want
to forward upstream (a big one is about manpages typos) but this is not
yet done. The biggest issue that would have to be talked with upstream
will be the "new soname at each release" that does not play very well
with external programs and upgrade (a library transition for each release
is a little bit painful)
Regards,
Vincent
