no need to apologize as far as I'm concerned.

> So let me find out about RFP on my own and I will deal with it.

As I wrote in my first answer: just execute "reportbug wnpp" on a shell and
follow the instructions. A RFP is a bug filed against the virtual wnpp package,
see [0], for currently filed RFPs (and other types of bugs which are filed
against wnpp like ITPs). More information on how to file a bug can be found at 
[1].

You're welcome!

Kind regards,

first: you sent the above answer only to me, you might want to consider sending 
it to the list. 
Now, you might have misunderstood my reply, that I was interested in 
maintaining 
such a package. I'm not. I don't own any Razor Mice, don't plan to buy one and 
therefore are not suited to really maintain this hardware-related package. 

If you don't want (or can, no problem here) maintain the package yourself, then 
please go ahead and file the RFP. If somebody is interested, that person will 
package the software. 

Pardon my accidentally sending my last reply as a private message. Mailing 
lists are all new to me. So, let me start with an apology for that. No I was 
not asking for you to maintain it, I only wanted you to understand what was 
involved in the application and why I am far too noob to maintain it myself at 
this time. So let me find out about RFP on my own and I will deal with it. My 
apologies again for the trouble and thank you for your replies. 

Peace

you either want to file an so called "Request For Packaging" (RFP) bug, in case
you just want to ask for inclusion of the package into Debian. To do that,
please run:
reportbug wnpp
and follow the instructions.
In case you want to maintain the package, you want to file an "Intend To
Package" (ITP) bug. The command is the same as above, just select ITP instead of
RFP when prompted.
Please make sure, there isn't already a bug for the package you wish to see
enter Debian (reportbug should help you take care of that).

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch

P.S.: What do you mean by "support for Razer Gaming Mice"? Do you mean some
configuration interface for mapping buttons or changing sensitivity? Or do you
mean a kernel module needed to get them working? In the latter case you might
want to talk to the Kernel maintainers before you file a bug.

Razer Mice

[initrd . pwn]

After digging for support for Razer Gaming Mice for the past year, I came 
across a project that supports a number of Razer mice and and uses pyqt4 for 
the interface. This is a great tool and as I have noticed not just the number 
of Linux users growing but gamers whom use such mice, such as myself (I own 2; 
Copperhead & Death Adder), I thought it might be a great addition to the Debian 
repositories. Is there someone willing to take this on? Is this the place to 
ask? If not then redirect me. If so and no-one is willing, would someone be 
willing to point me in the direction of how to get sponsored? 
I have 5 years of experience using Linux and am willing to learn. 

Thanks
