-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jonathan,
thanks a lot for your helpful comments! I tried to do my best to fix the issues listed in your message. All mentioned things that could keep a sponsor from uploading it should be gone by now. python-kiwi had been added to Build-Depends by accident. The short description has been changed from "Automated Usenet client" to "Simple and automated Usenet downloader for Newzbin (NZB) files". Regards, Severin PS: Please excuse this copy of my message in your inbox. I'm not so used to mailing lists. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://getfiregpg.org iEYEARECAAYFAkljYGwACgkQzlthqUBS7G/EggCfWXG6kc9skkV1atIV7RM9BuHy iqIAn1D8CjNCmpK2bmNNDzBAS+JtX9bz =0q1y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 12:32 PM, Jonathan Wiltshire <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Severin > > On Mon, Jan 05, 2009 at 10:25:46PM +0100, Severin Heiniger wrote: >> I am looking for a sponsor for my package "lottanzb". > > IANADD and can't upload for you, sorry.
