It's sad to me that a debian user with a long experience like you have abandoned the distro. But I'm sure that you will have a good reasons. Anyway, please, share them and we could try to improve that. > Just to add something more to the subject: I do not think being the > debian maintainer of the Xenomai package is a hard task.

Just to inform, because i have been in silence all this thread that some weeks ago (maybe two month) I contacted with the debian maintainer of xenomai. I offered my help because I was interested in maintain the package. We finally will work together, and the debian directory will be hosted in collab-maint git, in alioth, a git server of debian. Said that, because time constraints of the last weeks, I'm just in the beginning of review all the packaging of xenomai. I will begin with 2.6.4 and after that, I will jump to 3.0 when you released an official one. So, don't try to find anything there, because I have nothing done. I will try to inform the list about my progress. Anyway, the idea is to drop your debian directory and put a new one, trying to use the "good practices" and the updated debhelper tools. I will try to keep the package in a good shape, sync with the upstream last versions, at least in unstable. If I could, some backport (because I used it) could be possible.
