I recommend you to consider joining a team instead of doing package maintenance on your own - especially if new to the art of Debian packaging. For a package linked against libv8 it might be sensible to join the Javascript team - if in doubt there is interest in the team to work on the project you have, simply drop a mail to our list and ask what we feel :-) https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript Regards, - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
