Hello, I'm a developer at freedesktop.org, currently working on the XCB project. I'm interested in helping to package the modular X.org bits; in particular, the individual libraries. I can easily create some Debian packaging for all the libraries in the xlibs module; the issue is what to do with that packaging. I have upstream commit access, and there is already some Debian packaging in upstream CVS for a couple of libraries and headers (though it needs some work). I'm not sure whether the debian directories should be maintained in upstream CVS, here at the XSF in SVN, or in some combination of both. Furthermore, I'd like to ensure that any packages I create can either coexist with the corresponding XFree86 packages that exist now, or can replace them entirely and the functionality be turned off in the monolithic tree. I'd like to get some information on how I could best work with the XSF to package these libraries. - Josh Triplett
