How do you expect DDs to learn that you did the packaging work if you did not follow the procedure to find a sponsor? - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's an entirely unreasonable expectation. Hence my apology for the knee-jerk reaction.

Nope. And looking at the feedback that the bug received (zero), maybe it's pointless. Sorry, I had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the state change. :-) Ciao, Sheldon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Actually, what causes prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging that software, is when their packaging is ignored for 14 months and then the ticket changed from ITP to RFP. The original packaging is still available at http://ray.starjuice.net/e1000e/e1000e_1.1.2-1_i386.changes http://ray.starjuice.net/e1000e/e1000e_1.1.2-1.dsc There is NO point encouraging someone else to waste more effort on this, when no Debian developer is interested.

retitle 562157 RFP: e1000e -- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet driver noowner 562157 thanks Hi, This is an automatic email to change the status of e1000e back from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 6 months. If you are still interested in adopting e1000e, please send a mail to with: retitle 562157 ITP: e1000e -- Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet driver owner 562157 ! thanks However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <562...@bugs.debian.org>. Thank you for your interest in Debian, -- Lucas, for the QA team -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
