The ITPs are already submitted: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648451 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648452 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648453 If there is consensus within the Thrift project that I not move forward, I will honor that and not upload to Debian (but that's me, I can't promise the next person won't come along and upload what they want). If there is a credible plan for taking over these ITPs in order to do it according to your own preferences, then I will step aside and assign these ITPs to you. Otherwise I plan to move forward. > We will also need to find a debian mentor or sponsor until we can publish > these artifacts on our own. -- Eric Evans eev...@apache.org
