I can upload the packages, and > maybe co-maintain. > Hi Santiago, so far Luca was planned to maintain it, but I'd assume he is no objecting to a co-maintainer. Especially if the co-maintainer can help with the initial upload. It might be good to know about a lot of details in advance out of the scope of actually uploading it. We would be happy if you join us in our work even before the initial upload takes place. > Would you like to have it on git.debian.org collab-maint? > As we had so many different participating parties and needed a place as initial boilerplate we are currently at: https://wiki.fd.io/view/Deb_dpdk There is a lot of preparation, packaging and discussion already ongoing, with a bit of slack until DPDK 16.07 will be released. Please feel free to join our weekly meeting as referred on that Wiki page I linked above. >From there we will move into Debian/Ubuntu and also contribue to upstream dpdk to lower the delta we have to maintain.
