Bug#982250: Forking on MMSD
Hi, I would really like to avoid a fork, it's not worth doing dual work. Did you ping ofono devs at irc? Also have you sendt upstream patches? If a fork is the way you want to go, you will need to rename it as the existing packages need to follow upstream, we can't just rip an existing packages away from upstream.

Bug#982250: Forking on MMSD
Hello All, In talking to the Debian Developer Mr. Federico Ceratto, since I have been unable to get a hold of the Ofono Maintainers, the best course of action for packaging mmsd into Debian is to simply fork the project and submit my version upstream for packaging in Debian. My repository is here: https://source.puri.sm/kop316/mmsd/ I am sending this so the relavent parties are aware of this, and to indicate that I no longer intend on trying to get a hold of upstream mmsd to try and submit patches. For the Purism Employees, I am additionally asking for permission to keep hosting mmsd on https://source.puri.sm/ . I have been extremely appreciative in using it and I am happy to keep it there, but I want to be neighboorly and ask if it is okay for me to keep it there. If it is not, I completely understand and I am fine with moving it to a new host. If you have any questions, comments, or concern, please reach out to me. -- Respectfully, Chris Talbot
