Excellent! >(I must admit that I don't much like the cdbs setup of this particular >package - the copyright-tracking stuff in particular seems incredibly >fragile, and I've been fighting with build systems for bug-squashing >NMUs all weekend. Still, it's your package...) Thanks for the critique. copyright-check.mk being fragile is a known issue, with a pending fix in the form of a reimplementation of that cdbs snippet. I would appreciate if you could elaborate on other things your found problematic about my cdbs setup - I might learn something here :-) I would also appreciate if you could find time to look at that new copyright-check.mk routine. >> And would you perhaps be interested in helping maintain this package >> in the future?

Why didn't you - especially now after I shoed positive interest in your work? I deliberately placed it in collab-maint in order to make it easy for others to help out, and also myself to the LowThresholdNMU list at the Debian wiki. If you feel I could do more to promote my interest in random direct help, please tell me! - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH+dmFn7DbMsAkQLgRAnAbAJ4iwoCAdhIv3/FWiWRk3GH7NxT/4gCfb+XC T9/tDc1vL/lXoExyEKVwjnc= =TzRW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
