I've packaged a newer version of rosegarden4. I have been trying to
normal means of finding a sponsor for this package (mailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and asking a bunch of times on #debian-mentors), but I
haven't yet been successful. I didn't know about this mailing list
previously, so I thought I'd try here.
Attached is my original RFC/RFS that I had sent to debian-mentors.
Thanks,

I intend to adopt rosegarden4. The ITA is here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352541

Description: music editor and MIDI/audio sequencer
Rosegarden4 is a KDE application which provides a mixed Audio/MIDI
sequencer (for playback and recording), a multi-track editor, music
editing using both piano-roll and score notation, MIDI file IO,
lilypond and Csound files export, etc.
.
Rosegarden4 is a complete rewrite of the old rosegarden application,
available in the "rosegarden" debian package.

I have prepared packages and they are available here:

I would appreciate any comments anyone may have on my packaging.
I assume this is a glibc6 / gcc4 build, so I won't be testing this
immediately. Do you mind if I announce these packages on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] so we can get some testing done?
This package strikes me as an ideal candidate for Debian-multimedia to
sponsor / co-maintain, this requires at least one DD on this list to be
enthusiastic about the idea. Rosegarden4 is one of Linux Audio's
flagship apps IMO and it has always looked bad that Debian constantly
ships with the version before last. This wasn't necessarily Enrique's
fault, although he could have made a formal RFH sooner.
I hope you will be able to work with Willem van Engen
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who intends to package the dssi stuff, I also
think that this list will be the right place to co-ordinate efforts. I'm
glad you found us.
Comments?
cheers,
tim hall
