I obviously wasn't clear on this point: The library package is prepared *first*, to provide functionality needed by the dependent package. They're not ready for sponsorship together. What advice then? In my case, ‘fooapp’ needs ‘libbar’, which in turn needs ‘libbaz’. So, with only a limited amount of time, I work first on ‘libbaz’, and that package is ready for sponsorship before the others. Should I wait until all three are done — an indeterminate amount of time — before making an RFS for the ready-to-inspect ‘libbaz’? -- \ “It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival | `\ value.” —Arthur C.
