Again - please send me an updated DSC I can review that turns it into a regular upload -- either call it a Team Upload or a normal one and Mateusz - you can add yourself as an Uploader, please. I'll also say I'm lowNMU so this could have just been done without me, but since I'd be sponsoring I don't want to sponsor a NMU against a package I'm on the Uploaders for. Paul -- :wq

The copyright info you've written in this version is immensely improved :) 2. Beyond this, you'll need to add a on every blank line that . so that the paragraphs in the "Comment" field of the "Files: htpasswd.c htpasswd.1" aren't split by an empty newline; they need to remain part of the same field.

While I'm not a lawyer, I believe that the approach we're going with is more legally defensible around the world than the aspirational public domain one. BSD-2-clause is also better understood than NCSA as far as I know. I'm relieved that work this didn't end up being a pulp novel situation where someone stumbles onto a dirty rotten secret at the heart of the origins of the internet while untangling the roots of a project like this one. As an aside, the last release that Robert McCool worked on was v1.3, and then he left in 1994 [1]. > Thanks for your time and may you have a great day, You're welcome, you too!

Bug#1042778: RFS: fluxbox/1.3.7-1+nmu1 [NMU] [RC] -- Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager
Hi Paul, Paul Tagliamonte writes: > I /am/ one of the package maintainers :) > It's great to hear from you :) As one of the maintainers, will you have time and energy to review and merge Mateusz's work in the near future? Alternatively, would you be willing to add Mateusz as an Uploader and to let a mentor review and sponsor the proposed changes? I'm happy that you wrote back, because the best solution is collaboration! Mateusz, I'm supposing that you would be ok with this, because you've made a number of changes to fluxbox that are not appropriate for an NMU and that are the domain of a package's maintainers. Consequently, it makes it look like you'd like to help with the periodic maintenance of this package. Please let us know if this isn't what you want. Kind regards, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Retry for Paul. The NMU is not from me but Mateusz. Hope you'll be a DM soon @Mateusz, but meanwhile, I concur with Paul, don't do NMU, be the package owner and do a normal maintainer upload @Mateusz, as you cans see from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927477 that the package owner stop responding to people more than 5 years ago. @Paul, no hurry, take your time, as we've been waiting for more than 8 years, cheers On Wed, Aug 2, 2023 at 6:25 PM Paul Tagliamonte - paul...@debian.org wrote: > > Happy to review - why a NMU?

Thanks Mateusz. Seeing that your previous NMU 1.3.5-2.1 upload got unnoticed, I'm just trying to stir up some noise to get you more traction. CCing Paul who offered me help last time when I attempted it. Thanks everyone!
