Are you requesting sponsorship or adoption of the package? I have had a look at the package, and find your packaging very well done. I'd like to adopt it if that's ok with you. I do not, however, want to sponsor your package as part of you becoming a Debian Developer (I _do_ want more Debian developers, I just don't believe in the current package sponsoring logic). If you later become a Debian Developer and want to take over official maintainance of it for Debian, I'd be happy to hand it back to you. So please tell me if it's fine with you that I adopt the package for official Debian maintainance.

I did expect others to complain. that usually happens when I offer my packaging skills without at the same time accepting the responibilities of sponsorship. Sponsorship was not required for me when entering Debian and I believe the sponsoring program to be broken. If you want to discuss that then let's do it somewhere else than in this bugreport (suggestion: debian-project@ ). Andreas: Feel free to sponsor the package yourself, if you like. I won't take that responsibility. Call me weird if you like, it won't change my decision. Floris: You describe the package failing adoption for years, but do not clearly state if you are in the process of becoming a Debian developer or not. I offer to adopt the package and hand it back if/when Floris becomes an official Debian developer. For the record: I do _not_ offer to sponsor the package using the current Debian rules/manners of sponsorship. (later, in the small groups setup that could be different.) I don't know the small groups setup you mention - could you please point me to more on that? Regards, - Jonas P.S.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 retitle 112118 ITP: python-visual -- Python library for 3d visualization thanks On 03-04-2005 14:41, Floris Bruynooghe wrote: I was thinking of only applying for DD when I had proven to myself I could handle maintaining it in Debian and/or if my sponsor asked/suggested so. Hence getting the package in Debian is more important to me then maintaining it myself and I would be open to Jonas adopting it. If a sponsor appeared that would even be better though, but Jonas has been the only person showing interest so far. You would probably be a better package maintainer than me, Floris (as I am not using the package myself, just see it useful for others and not too complicated for me to maintain), so I'd certainly welcome you into Debian, even if only to maintain that single package. My offer to hand it off again goes to a sponsoring deal as well. But possibly my dirty hands officially on the package could be seen as negative for your application (just speculating!). I will adopt the package, and am preparing an upload now. Go become a maintainer, or go find another pet package - both will be a benefit to Debian and thus to the world :-) Regards, - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nr: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCT//5n7DbMsAkQLgRAhhxAJ9oRdvF75IcEhlBDMUI94Gfc5rxqwCfdL4J bILdpsMIpXyHNhnjlr5i5C0= =+/Sp -END PGP SIGNATURE-
