Hello, all.
Who maintain the gnone-core as a "pure" (native) Debian package.?
*) James does not have an idea to maintain it any longer.
*) James give the package to Peter Teichman.
However, I cannot find Peter Teichman in the Debian developers list.

And I can find his name in the Debian developers list. Christian, Can
you upload it as a Debian Package?
I'm very confused. Who upload gnome-core new version as a Debian
Package? And how long should I wait to use new gnome-core as the Debian
Package?
