Hi Fabrizio, hi Christof! Thanks for your interest in partimage. I'll CC the RFA the bug report so this discussion is public.

While Christof contacted me first and in doubt I'd opt for the first come, first serve basis, maybe you could consider joining forces. That said, neither Fabrizio nor Christof has currently upload rights so they would need a sponsor. I also have to add, that the upstream development has basically stalled and there is no (official) support for ext4. So I'd like to hand over the package to someone who knows C++ as you can no longer rely on upstream to fix bugs for you and you'd kinda have the role of an upstream developer. As for the sources and the debian packaging: I haven't used a public VCS for development, but I can upload it somewhere if there is interest. Aside from that, the current packaging is available from the debian archive via apt-get source partimage or dget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/partimage/partimage_0.6.8-1.dsc Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
