Hi Jérôme, [wnpp bug added to Cc, so people know what's going on; don't feel like you need to keep that there, though]

Oh, that's cool!

I took qlcplus because it seems like a natural extension to the OpenLighting package which I already maintain; but given what I already do for Debian and outside, it might be a bit of a strain anyway, and so if you're interested in maintaining it, then by all means go ahead! I'll even sponsor your uploads if you need me to. As for what you've got already: I haven't looked at it in great detail yet (I'll try to do so ASAP), but at first glance here are some comments: - Your 'qlcplus' package contains files in /usr/lib. These should probably be split off into a library package -- which is a whole can of worms to deal with, of which I can imagine you might have some questions. If so, do ask. - I noticed you're disabling the tests because they require a running X server. We do want to run those during the build; build-depending on a headless X server such as xvfb should allow you to do so. I'll probably have some more comments for you sometime next week; I'll get back to you on that then. -- To the thief who stole my anti-depressants: I hope you're happy -- seen somewhere on the Internet on a photo of a billboard
