Please do. Its has already been 3 years since I first packaged this and
if we can finally find a sponsor, I'll be more than happy...

Thanks,

I'm sorry for having been pretty rubbish; real life has just been *so*
crazy in the last few years :-(

Comments on the version in collab-maint (following a very brief
glance at postinst):

- don't use sudo in the maintainer scripts; there's no guarantee it'll
  be installed; it runs as root, anyway, so you can just do a plain
  chmod.

- the install/upgrade directories are chmod +x early on, but this is
  not undone in the abort-* or * targets; also, the upgrade directory
  is never locked again - is this correct?

If someone else has time to mentor this, that would be great.

   Julian

Bug#472802: Next step: debian-mentors?

2011-04-08 Thread Eric Gerlach
I've looked at the package, and it seems to be working in testing for me.  I 
think the next step is to contact debian-mentors to find a sponsor for the 
package according to this: 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#How_do_I_get_a_sponsor_for_my_package.3F

I'm willing to put in the time to try to find a sponsor and work out getting 
the package uploaded, but you guys (Nick and Jean-Pascal) are the maintainers, 
really.  If one of you wants to take that on, I defer to you, if not, I hope 
you don't mind if I fight to get this into the archive.

Cheers,
