I asked for a sponsor back in november in debian-mentors and debian-kde, but did not recieved any replies. I thought everyone is busy squashing their RC bugs for the Sarge release. I'll continue searching for a sponsor, but won't flood debian-mentors or others with my RFS. I also tagged my ITP with "patch" to get listed at Justin's page (http://rtfo.org/~justin/itp+patch/sponsor-needed.html), but it seems that only a few developers know his page. > > As I said before, I have packaged KBoincSpy for Debian and would > > appreciate it if someone could have a look at this package.

I have imported the whole KBoincSpy source into a Subversion repository, so that I can reverse all changes made to the source. Maybe multiple patches is a nicer approach, but directly modifying the source is IMHO easier. I'll take your remarks into consideration at the next upstream release, which will probably be short after [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes public. > - The package recommends boinc-client, but where is this package available? > A comment in the description, or in README.Debian, will be great for a > BOINC newbie. Your are absolutely right, I'll add a notice to the README.Debian. At the moment there is only a source package, called boinc-public, available which creates the boinc-client binary package: http://bioinformatics.pzr.uni-rostock.de/~moeller/debian/boinc/ Maybe there will be BOINC source and binary packages soon at: http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org > - The override for 'desktop-file-in-wrong-dir' is unneeded if you patch the > Makefile.am for installing in the xdg_apps directory (which is correct, of > course).

I was already using xdg_apps, but lintian complained about the other .desktop files, that are installed into /usr/share/services and /usr/share/servicetypes. I'll check again at the next lintian upgrade and will remove this override if the warnings disappear. Thanks for replying and looking at my package, I appreciate that! -Frank
