Bug#722249: Current status?



Hello!

Is there a reason why the packaging is taking so long?

I have recently stumbled across simplescreenrecorder and inititally
packaged it as 'ssr' first. Then upstream told me he prefers a long
package name (I'd rather find this package name to be bulky and way too
long, but anyway) and I changed the name which then showed me the other,
this ITP bug on my QA page.

My package is, in fact, already ready and I even had already uploaded it
to NEW until I requested a removal to change the name. I'm wondering
why Maarten didn't tell me there was another packaging effort in Debian
going on, he must have completely forgotten about it.

Anyway, did you guys test the package on non-Linux kernels and non-x86
platforms? Because ALSA doesn't work on non-Linux kernels at the moment
and the glinject library works on x86 only due to the fact that eflhacks
is x86-only. I have take these issues into consideration and adapted my
package source accordingly.

I have set myself as the owner as Ho Wan Chan hasn't replied to this
bug report for more than a year and we usually change the ITP to RFP
in these cases to allow others to work on the package.

My package is solely missing the manpage for the simplescreensaver
command. The glinject doesn't really need a manpage as it is an
internal command of simplescreensaver and isn't used outside of it.

Adrian
