Hi, I was hoping to find a maintainer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who wouldn't mind meeting me and signing my GPG key. It's nearly the last step for me in the NM process, and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out. Regards, Aubin -- "PUNK IS: a belief that this world is what we make of

Hi, Actually, I lied, one of my two questions is about libraries, but I have two questions. 1) I'm currently packing snoopy, it's an execve logger, it overrides the default execve behaviour in libc, with an LD_PRELOAD, and logs all executed commands. Anyhow, the upstream version installs into /li

Hi, I just uploaded my first package via dupload to master/incoming. While it works, and has been tested repeatedly by hand, I didn't rebuild the package on Alpha, Sparc, etc. I understand there is an autobuilder, but I'm curious as to when it will be built on those platforms and whether I'll reci
