Skip, as we both passed the NM process. should everyone be able to maintain every package on the world? No, packaging is not just put the right files to the correct place thing. You/we often should make changes to the source to make it compile, further develop upstream (like the kernel-source or what Siggy and a bit me was doing with MailMan, etc). Changes sometimes also required to make the depends optional and/or chooseable. (Bug-)Reporters may submit patches, that you should read and approve or reject, etc. Last but not least you should know how to configure a package, how to make transitions from one version to an other if it needs configuration/data upgrade. Packaging is not just packaging, see that some packages have a team to do it right, because one person just can't do it. To be honest I intended to join Debian project mainly to work on documentation/translation efforts. Yes, I have asked you back then that you are going to be a Debian _Developer_ when the only thing you want to do is documentation and translation. I was HIGHLY SURPRISED that my application manager (greetings to him) asked me how to create Debian package. For Christ's sake who the f*** I am to know about it if I'm going only to translate some stupid documents huh? Debian _Developer_. You can translate documents, submit then against the package as patch for example. You can even join to the translation teams. Have you seen http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/ for example? I think yes, as you are involved according to http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/pl There are mailing lists even: http://lists.debian.org/i18n.html Also, general documentation needs translators as well: http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals There are some Polish done, but others may accept help as well. I'll be never good programmer and I'm aware of it. Knowing C and knowing C can be two different things. Yup, and knowing C and Ada can be an other kind of different things. In sum. Maybe it's time to create additional positions in Debian project? There are already differences, maybe not like you 'proposed', but for example _no-one_ should be a DD to make translations.

mrtg package problems
Hi, The mrtg and related packages seems to be orphaned. Shiju p. Nair is last done an upload at 2004 April the 6th. Since then, there are only NMUs, like it was NMUed constantly since 2002. The package is a bit bad shape, would be good if someone look into them; there are even seven years old bugs, but well, others are only five or three years old. Is there any better package for this task, so mrtg can be dropped maybe? But as some bugs have patch included, maybe someone else can prepare a bugfixing version. On the other hand, I think 2.11.1-1.1 should be pushed to Sarge. Regards, Laszlo/GCS signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

As to the other package, it probably should be orphaned. OK, please check the bugs, review patches etc. for mrtg. I may even sponsor it if you need it. A company I am contact with, is just checking it, but they may switch to netmrg. Anyway, I will try to take care of the problem. I'll see if I can contact Shiju and if there is no response by end of the month, I'll orphan the packages and take over mrtg, unless someone has a problem. I am OK with it, even if I am only a simple DD without too much words. Anyway, you can do NMUs meanwhile as Jeroen already wrote about it.

Two of my packages are getting full of bugs which I can fix and close so I decided to orphan them and if I'm be able to get new key in the future, I'll find new packages to mantain. What about someone (maybe me) sponsoring your upload? Fix the bugs, put the new package online and send me where can I get it. Then after a check, I will upload it for you. So you won't lose the packages. Regards, Laszlo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mplayer 1.0pre6a-4 for i386 and PowerPC and sparc
On Tue, 2005-03-15 at 00:56 +0100, Sven Luther wrote: Well, there are two issues here, one is why mplayer is not in debian. Supposedly it was because the legal situation was not clear and that made it dangerous and maybe illegal for us to distribute it. I wonder why ubuntu does not have this problem (even it if is in universe/multiverse), and if maybe this means the problems got solved and it could be included in debian now, or maybe because ubuntu just didn't care about the legal dubious situation. Just a note, that their homepage[1] is something like closed: Free Software Multimedia Threatened by Software Patents Closed for patent infringement This site has been shut down because of numerous patent violations in MPlayer. The other free software multimedia players are next. [...] This is a preliminary warning, but everyone should look into all possibilities.
