Simple question on RFP entries

2010-12-23 Thread Yuri D'Elia 
I'd like to work on an existing package request. It's bug #603078: makepp, a 
make replacement that I already use since years.

What's the policy on RFP entries in that case? Should I also file an ITP to 
notify others that someone is already working on it? Or should I simply close 
the RFP bug in the first entry in the changelog?

Hello,

If you're working on a package, you should retitle the RFP as an ITP
and close it in the first entry of your changelog.

See http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ for more details.

Cheers,

You should retitle it to ITP.

 Thanks. Should I also become the owner of the bug?

Yes.
