I would like to take over maintaining this package in Debian and need
someone to sponsor me. I've CCed Colin in case he's interested in
sponsoring. :)
I've packaged and tested biosdevname 0.5.1 based on the latest
package in Ubuntu. Aside from the newer upstream version, other
changes include updating to dh9, using DEP-5, adding a watch file,
removing an old patch and fixing a bug reported in LP. Since upstream
is someone on my team here at Dell, I went ahead and added the
packaging information as a branch in the upstream git repository.
That git repository is at:
http://linux.dell.com/git/biosdevname.git
I'm using git-buildpackage, so the orig tarball can be generated
straight from git tags. (There's a debian/gbp.conf in the repo to
make this easier.) The sponsor would need to clone the repo and run
"git-buildpackage -S". Once a sponsor checks over my work, I can tag
it as Debian/0.5.1 in git and the package can be uploaded to Debian.
