I have made a VCS repository at Alioth and started from the latest
Debian packaging source. It is now online at
<URL:https://anonscm.debian.org/loggerhead/collab-maint/pkg-inform/trunk/>.

version 6.31.1. After that I will work on pacakging newer
free-software upstream versions.

Stuart, I am not yet a Debian Developer and will need a sponsor for
this release (probably the next, free-software release also). Should I
chat with you about working with me as a sponsor of this package?
