Thanks very much for doing this. Until recently open-isns was embedded in open-iscsi, but a couple of months ago it was separated out - so when Ritesh and I talked at DebConf about this (we both co-maintain open-iscsi), we decided that we will need to package open-isns. What kept us from filing an ITP is that we both haven't used iSNS so far, and the open-iscsi package only uses the client library, we never built the daemons - so we put the whole thing on the backburner. So it's great that you want to package it, because we're going to need it after the next release of open-iscsi, which will drop the embedded copy and depend on open-isns. (It's already in the open-iscsi upstream git repository.) Since this is directly related to iSCSI and open-iscsi is going to depend on it, would you consider co-maintaining the package together with Ritesh and myself? We already have the pkg-iscsi-maintainers project on alioth (including a mailing list), so the infrastructure is already there. Note that Mike Christie isn't the primary maintainer of open-isns anymore, now it's Lee Duncan. See (at the very bottom): https://github.com/gonzoleeman/open-isns/blob/master/README The new "official" upstream repository is: https://github.com/gonzoleeman/open-isns (Instead of the original one by Mike Christie.)
