Did you asked for a sponsor? I have seen several people (including DDs) interested but there was no such signal like I'm read with packaging, it works, could somebody please test and upload. I don't see any reason to keep on updating this package except when I need to use it, which happens about once or twice a year. That's fair. There is no reasons why this is not in collab-maint appart from the fact that I don't have time to research how to get commit rights on it. If I'm not missleaded you just need to ask for an alioth.debian.org account. A short Google search leaded me to http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/PackagingProject which seems to be a good starting point. So that you know, configurations files of limesurvey have never been identical from one version to the other and I have always had to redo the patches. I guess that's a bit boring and makes maintenance harder - it would be nice if somebody who really uses the package would take over maintenance.

Bug#472802: Status of limesurvey packaging (Was: Bug#472802: What's happening?)
Hi, I checked out svn://svn.debian.org/svn/collab-maint/ext-maint/limesurvey and also had a look at http://www.nijaba.info/debian While the later is a bit more up to date (any reason not to commit the packaging to collab-maint?) both are way behind upstream. Are there any plans to continue packaging and perhaps moving it to any official Debian release? I had a short look into the packaging of both URLs above and can tell that neither the dbconfig common patches will apply to the new upstream version nor the packaging will work if I try to clone the idea of this patches to the new configuration method. Any updates in the queue? Kind regards Andreas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
