After discussion with Steve Conklin (who filed an ITA for 'hamlib' a few months ago) we have determined that I will volunteer to adopt and maintain 'hamlib' instead of him.
For reference, I am a ham radio operator (KA6MAL), I do use hamlib regularly, and I have developed applications which use the library. I have packaged the new upstream release (hamlib 1.2.10) which I propose for review and upload by a kindly DD: http://www.whence.com/debian/proposed/hamlib_1.2.10-1.dsc This package includes my fix for bug 559814 (CVE-2009-3736 local libltdl privilege escalation), and minor Python 2.6 changes from Ubuntu. I wasn't sure what to do with the debian/control "Uploaders:" field. As a placeholder, I set it to the debian-h...@lists.debian.org list address -- I expect that it will be changed by the actual uploader: Uploaders: Debian Hamradio Maintainers <debian-h...@lists.debian.org> This is my first experience with maintenance of a package at Debian, so I am not at all sure that I'm following the proper procedures here. Any guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks, -Kamal Mostafa <ka...@whence.com>
