Hi!
I just had a quick look at the libtheft packaging on mentors, and
noticed a few things that at the moment, prevent me from sponsoring the
package. These are:
- I was unable to find the public part of your GPG key, thus, was unable
to verify the signature on the source package. Where can one

Hi!
I have recently started playing with the idea of using BATS, and came
across your ITP and RFS. However, for my use, I'd need a more recent
version (0.3.1+). Could you update your packaging to that version? I'd
be happy to review and sponsor it afterwards.

Unfortunately, I ran into an issue - possibly upstream -, which worries
me a bit: I have a .planner file, created with an older version
