As a Debian and Ubuntu developer I can say that the processes are pretty similar. Both require review of uploads, and uploads are sponsored by a Developer with upload permissions. You can gain upload permissions in both distributions by showing commitment and getting avocations from developers who've sponsored your work. Debian requires GPG keys to be integrated into the web of trust. I don't think this is a bad thing, and can be waived where necessary. I'd say sponsoring uploads in Ubuntu is more streamlined, and not having strict maintainership of packages means you are more free to touch anything. But answers still aren't coming to the surface for me :) SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ H: +27 21 465 6908 C: +27 72 419 8559 UCT: x3127 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
