I need sponsor/advocate

I'm not convinced we should have package maintainers who aren't even intending to become full-fledged developers; I don't think that's what the sponsorship process was designed to achieve. Perhaps you should remain as the upstream developer and get someone else to maintain the Debian package, the way normal packages work? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you know "recode"? recode knows over 200 different character sets and file formats and can easily be used for that. So insted of making separate programs, i'd suggest using aliases like alias dos2unix='recode dos/CR-LF..l1' alias unix2dos='recode l1..dos/CR-LF' alias unix2win='recode l1..windows-1250' Recoding isn't trivial, and your claim "from any format" won't hold for sure, as most codeset's cannot be distinguished at all. Furthermore it looks like converting to Mac isn't completely done by replacing the linefeeds with carriage returns. Windows does use a different codepage as dos, afaik! Even DOS doesn't always use the same Codepage. It usually uses 437 OR 850 though. So expect to get bugs over bugs for your package. But i don't want to warp you from becoming a Debian Packager, i'm still in the New Maintainer Process myself. I'm doing Debian Packages for a Library i found in the 'net not available for Debian yet - and learned a lot as it contains wrappers for perl, python, php (and ruby and java, but i couldn't get these to work yet...) - so my source package generates 7 binary packages, i needed to split correctly.

Hello I've written a program called demish. I would like to see that package in Debian, but since I am not a developer (and I don't want to be one, just for maintaining one package), I am looking for a sponor. Description of demish: demish builds a Debian mirror, containing only those packages (and optionally their dependencies) that the maintainer wants, and thus gives him (almost) full control over the size of the mirror. It is useful if you have a fast internet connection at work/school and a laptop or a cdwriter: just make a mirror on the laptop or cd, and update your computers at home. Demish is written in Perl/shell and is licensed under GPL. You can find it at http://luon.net/~admar, or put 'deb ftp://luon.net/debian testing main' (or 'deb ftp://luon.net/debian unstable main') in your sources.list. The current package is created with dh_make, but it is not signed, since I don't have a gpg-key (yet). If someone is interested in this package, please let me know (CC to me, since I am not subscribed to this list). Kind regards, Admar Schoonen
