Hi all,
I would like to adopt package libnjb5, which is up for adoption due to
its maintainer being MIA.
that's nice, thanks!
However, I'm not a DD or a DM. I've been contributing work to Debian
for a few months now as a member of the testing security team, but my
work is unimportant - I simply sort CVE's and file bug reports for
affected packages - and probably nobody will vouch for me.
Well, don't diminish your activities at Debian: every work is
important (even the smallest/ungrateful ones) so thanks for what you
do!
Is there any chance a developer could adopt me and sign my packages?
Mh, it's doesn't exactly work like this: at the beginning, you start
taking maintenance of package, and when you need someone to upload the
package you write to debian-ment...@lists.debian.org asking for
sponsorship.
This is not a critical package, but some people still rely on it for
using their old Nomad devices (like me). There is some bugfixing to
due (patches are already in the bugzilla) and there is a new upstream
version.
Are you comfortable with shared libraries management? sonames bump,
rpath, and so on, triggers something or you don't know what they are?
shlibs are not an easy packages to starts with.
This doesn't mean to discourage you (we'd be happy to have a caring
maintainer for each package), but only to warn you that you'll have to
learn the debian packaging method + who to handle shlibs, and that
means a lot, and could pose the bar too high.

Thanks for the answer.
Those names do not ring a bell. But if nobody adopts it, its not going
into squeeze right?
I can start by adopting a few other packages I use, but I can also
learn quite fast.
Regards,
Pedro
