Hello, Anyone funding anything wants to fund something new - but maintenance work typically has problems to excite people. On the other hand, it is a very good way to learn about Debian packaging for beginners.
How about making some noise about our need to update packages on a regular basis? The packages in Debian Med and its dependencies are steadily increasing and so is the time the updates are demanding. My very own entry to Debian Med was me moaning about clustalw not being updated :) When Andreas gave a presentation at a "nearby virtual" Linux meeting, I saw a few individuals on the chat shying away from presumed technical difficulties. What do you think? An idea that just popped up while writing is that we should possibly do a YouTube/peer.tube video about how a Debian package is updated and then dub that in three languages plus subtitles. Do we find the right set of individuals that way? Best, Steffen
