Wow, honestly, that was some damn great advice... And it does sound very accurate and I do understand it. I don't know if I will follow through with it or not. I recently quit my job (good thing. fast food...), so I have plenty of time on my hands, so I might, on the other hand, I start army in less than 2 months (mandatory). I understand Debian's interest in wanting people this serious and hard working, and putting these "trials" for them... But I must admit, it almost sounds not worth it for my project... :/ I simply developed kmenc15 myself for fun, put it up on some sites, and thought, why not have it also up on my favorite distro, and I never thought it would be something this complicated. My package requires relatively very small amount of maintaining (grand total of 100k including 90k of images :), and I have the obvious advantage of being both the author and maintainer... :) For this reason I find the trials almost pointless, as even a non-serious programmer can handle it. Even though, for the pure cause of boredom, I might follow up on your very great advice, I'd like to think of myself as someone serious enough to do these things. I have no plan of becoming a DD though. I would only be very proud to see my favorite program in my favorite GNU/Linux distro.... An honest Thankyou. - ods15
