Hi Fernando, It would be nice to have plowshare in the official Debian archive. However as plowshare is updated frenquently (remote websites are updated at regular basics), it should be added to "volatile" repository. Find my current packaging files as attachment. I'm not familiar enough with official maintainer job, so I let you maintain this package alone. Regards, Matthieu PS: Arnau is still around ;) On 06/03/2011 18:06, fcestrada@fcestrada.com wrote:
Hi Matthieu, First of all thanks for keep the hard work in plowshare [1], I'm a happy recent user of plowshare and a Debian enthusiast so mixing both would be great, I know that there is a Debian package [2] but I don't know if exists an intention to make an official Debian package and this is the reason of this message, my intention to contribute for a plowshare official Debian package [3]. I know that (unfortunately) Arnau is not active in the project anymore [4], but plowshare keeps working and if it's your intention to keep the work on it, I'll be glad to help you with a Debian package and contributing with you to keep plowshare in good shape. I want to know if you're agree to have a Debian package of plowshare, and if it's ok for you if I mantain this package in Debian (if you want to mantain the package in Debian I don't have any problem to change the bug's owner [3]). Thanks in advance for your time, have a nice day ;-) Best Regards, P.S.1. Arnau: Thanks a lot for your work in plowshare, my best wishes for you ;-) P.S.2. Please keep the bug mail address in the answer.
