You don't need to be a Debian Developer to do Debian related work, you can even maintain packages in Debian. Instead of uploading you would send a link to your package to a list for review before a Debian Developers would upload it to the archive. To manipulate bugs you could send an email to [email protected] or use the command bts (in the package devscripts) as a frontend to create such emails, e. g.: $ bts --no-action forcemerge 565775 553354 , severity 565775 important , reassign 565775 aptitude , retitle 565775 "aptitude reports incorrectly essential packages, depending on repositories available in sources.list" From: your address To: [email protected] Subject: forcibly merging 565775 553354, severity of 565775 is important, reassign 565775 to aptitude ... forcemerge 565775 553354 severity 565775 important reassign 565775 aptitude retitle 565775 aptitude reports incorrectly essential packages, depending on repositories available in sources.list I just need to check if this bug is reported against apt before I run this command without the --no-action flag. You can also do this if you want to, there's nothing you could break. Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
