Re: About x.org and other packages
I've some questions, of course for being a newbie Debian maintainer (because I'm an advanced? Debian user), I'm not going to take care of x.org, but I'd like to see it into official Debian repositories instead of our XFree86, x.org is more powerful and It improves in many ways compatibility. So I was wondering if someone is going to bring it to Debian. i am thinking i heard that the X Strike Force is eventually planning to migrate entirely to the x.org tree. they are working hard on it. [they also have preliminary packages, i have them.] --elijah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: About x.org and other packages
Re: Rafael Fernández López in [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm looking for a package that I like to keep it care of. You have to find one yourself. For example, browse the WNPP bug list (if you are really interested in Debian, you know what this is) to see if there's something interesting. I've some questions, of course for being a newbie Debian maintainer (because I'm an advanced? Debian user), I'm not going to take care of x.org, but I'd like to see it into official Debian repositories instead of our XFree86, x.org is more powerful and It improves in many ways compatibility. So I was wondering if someone is going to bring it to Debian. X.org will eventually be part of Debian, but only after Sarge. I've read how I can reach the Debian maintainer role, and I've some questions. I've to write here for the package that I want to maintain, true?, then I should be helped by another maintainer to learn how to build packages the best way, right? To start, read the newmaint-guide. I think I got the most important points about how to be a Debian maintainer and I dream with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address, hehe. *bzzt* this is a sure way *not* to get one ;-) Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

We don't have packages that are waiting for new maintainers... at least we don't give them away here ;) You have to find some useful piece of software yourself. Good start point would be our WNPP requested packages. (http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/requested) This way you can assume that someone will use your package. I've some questions, of course for being a newbie Debian maintainer (because I'm an advanced?

So I was wondering if someone is going to bring it to Debian. X.org will be probably included, but only after sarge. I suppose you don't have an idea how hard is to maintain XFree. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=xfree86 Just take a look at number of bugreports. I've read how I can reach the Debian maintainer role, and I've some questions. I've to write here for the package that I want to maintain, true?, then I should be helped by another maintainer to learn how to build packages the best way, right? If you prepare some package then, yes someone from here could take a look on it and give you some advices. But as I said... you have to find prospective package yourself. I think I got the most important points about how to be a Debian maintainer and I dream with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address, hehe. Proove it doing good volunteer work ;) You community are the best of all this... THANK YOU VERY MUCH. We really love Debian here in Spain.
