any plans to upload a gujin package to debian?
I did everything I could to simplify the job of someone else adding
that package to the official repository, you even have a .deb package
in sourceforge, but I cannot commit the time to learn how to do that.
let me reaffirm that the more bootloaders debian-live supports, the more
choice users have, the better. therefore, adding support for other
bootloaders is always welcome.
however, there's no point in adding support for guijin in live-boot and
live-build if gujin is not part of debian in the first place. therefore,
we first need to get gujin into debian.
while i can offer to sponsor the package for you, i personally do not
have interests in gujin as a bootloader myself, apart from it's support
within debian-live. i, personally, use syslinux/extlinux, am happy with
it and don't want to switch (or rather, don't see any reason what gujin
would offer me over syslinux/extlinux that i would use myself).
so, again, i can sponsor it, but don't want to be responsible for it's
maintenance in debian. if you want to do that, that is great and then
please prepare a debian source package (dsc, debian.tar.gz, orig.tar,gz)
for review. if you don't want to maintain it yourself, you should write
a RFP bug against wnpp (see [0] for more information about that; stating
that you're upstream yourself will certainly help too) and maybe you're
lucky and get someones interest in it.

Daniel
