Re: Should I give up?

Hi Francisco

I have been trying to package packages related to Elemetary OS's
Pantheon for Debian. Several months ago I submitted a few of them to
mentors.d.n, and found sponsors, and those packages got accepted. Then they
entered the NEW queue. I decided to wait for those packages to make it into the
distribution before submitting new ones.

I lost track of the time it took for those packages to actually receive
a response from the ftp masters. Now, I know all work is voluntary and I don't
want to demand anything, but being frank I just got tired of waiting. I had
completely forgotten about those packages when I got a response for them, saying
that they were rejected. I don't feel motivated at all to actually fix the
problems that were pointed out about them.

I'm trying to find motivation to work on them once more to fix those
issues and then go through the whole process again, but the thought of having to
wait several months again to see if everything is acceptable is really
discouraging.

So, I turn to the mentors present in this discussion list for
incentive. Should I try again? Is there anything to say?


I think you should try again. You've made too much progress to through 
it away. That said, I can understand how it's very frustrating, it's 
often even the case for long DDs when the NEW queue gets long. We're 
aware of that problem, and there's some good ideas to make it better 
(like making it possible for any DD to give feedback on a package for 
faster rejects + feedback), but it's not yet implemented (and right now, 
I don't think anyone is working on it either).


However, after time, every process in Debian does get better, and 
patience usually pays off. I hope you give it another shot.

Cool, you might want to add a lintian override for that.

ltsp-cluster-agent{,-weblive}

[Jonathan Carter (highvoltage)]

Hi Debian Mentors!

I have two packages that require review/sponsoring:

 * http://mentors.debian.net/package/ltsp-cluster-agent (ITP: #655358)
 * http://mentors.debian.net/package/ltsp-cluster-agent-weblive (ITP:
#655359)

I'm subscribed to both so I'll get the comments on debexpo.

I'm also available on IRC as 'highvoltage' if you'd like to discuss
anything.

Thanks a lot!

-Jonathan
