Rogério is a long time Debian contributor so I don't see a problem even with giving him full access to the salsa group. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It seems that that's the last release that was made and, indeed, that's
quite some time ago.

Yes, I both built the package, installed it and started using it. In
conjunction with some other tools, it works very well!
Oh, regarding your other email, I have a salsa login and it is rbrito.
Thanks,
Rogério Brito.

I would like to mentor Rogério and help them "learning by doing". To make this easier, an account on salsa.d.o with (limited) access to the team and/or the repo makes sense, IMHO. Thoughts?

Thanks for the kind message. I gave it a shot with gem2deb and I produced a
(very) preliminary package. It is at:
https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-pdfbeads
The changelog, in particular, is very cluttered and should be cleaned,
among other things. Regarding ruby-specific packaging stuff, I would love to
get comments and/or corrections.
The package providing jbig2 should, really, be a Recommends instead of a
Suggests, but since it is not in Debian yet, I left it as is for the time being.
> Let me know in case you're interested.
While I'm not sure if I am able to maintain this package (let's say that
some use asks for a new feature), I won't know how to proceed.
Assistance and opinions is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Rogério Brito.

If you're interested in learning (on your own) and improving your Ruby packaging skills, I'm happy to give you any help necessary. Let me know in case you're interested. Cheers, Georg
