hi emilio, thanks for the work on this! the biggest problem that we had been facing thus far is that the debian-x folks are very reluctant to take on management of cdbs-based packaging, which is why i never just took and cross-ported ubuntu's packages (which is what you've used as a basis for your packages, it seems). as you can see, my ITP was a while back. a combination of factors have kept me really busy in the past few months, though it looks like this is finally cleared up now, and i can start spending time on fun things again :) i'd like to continue working on debianized compiz-foo packages that the debian-x folks are more happy to team-maintain, but it seems like a real waste to leave everyone sitting around waiting in the meantime, esp. when someone (you) has already provided the working packages. so, i'm cc'ing debian-x with a proposal, that i hope will make everyone happy: 0 - do a quick audit of the packages you've provided. 1 - i take the packages that you've provided, add myself to Uploaders, and sponsor uploads into unstable of these packages. 1.5 - bug reports go to you as the official maintainer, and you can coordinate with me on any fixes/updates which i will also sponsor. 2 - i continue working on the non-cdbs debianisation in the pkg-xorg repo 3 - at some point >= now, we have a "handover" where the pkg-xorg maintained packages replace the sponsored package. 4 - you are invited to join debian-x and continue to help team-maintain the latest pkg-xorg maintained packages. what does everyone think of this? sean On Monday 22 October 2007 05:29:47 pm Emilio Scalise wrote: > I've packaged this software and compiled it for debian etch i386. > > See http://emiscabpo.wordpress.com/ for instructions. > > Apt lines are these: > > deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/compiz-0.6.0 ./ > deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/compiz-0.6.0 ./ > > Regards, > Emilio
