Hi Tobi, Thank you for the feedback. I need to fix this email as my client defaulted to my 2048R key, rather than the 4096R key I recently created for this purpose.

Two of the packages I mentioned < wspr and kvasd-installer >, are under review from a DD, just a couple things left to tidy up. ITP's have been filed or updated against both packages. The builds are clean with the exception of a missing Debian Watch file message from Lintian. These are New Packages so will need to go through the new package process. The third package still needs finishing by upstream ( in this case < JTSDK >, is myself ). > So I suggest to read https://www.debian.org/devel/join/ and > maybe http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers for information how to > get your packages sponsored.

Don't hesitate to ping me if you have something to > sponsor ;-) WSJT-X and WSJT are already in Debian, but are older versions, which I'm working on updating. Kamal Mostafa is or has volunteered to sponsor all 4/5 packages, but I'm sure he'd welcome more assistance, as there are allot of HamRadio packages for sure ! I believe Kamal has traditionally been the uploader. > It seems to me that you might be also interested in getting contact with > https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHams, I'm pretty sure they will welcome > you and also help you with your contributions.

I've not joined DebianHams specifically, as Kamal has handled most of the packages I interact with, but that's a good idea. I dropped by the IRC channel this afternoon, was kind of quiet. > So, please feel welcome and be encouraged to contribute to Debian. > > [1] http://portfolio.debian.net/result?email=ki7mt%40yahoo.com&name=Greg > +Beam&gpgfp=&username=&nonddemail=ki7mt% > 40yahoo.com&aliothusername=&wikihomepage=&forumsid=&mode=html&submit=Build+Debian+Member+Portfolio+URLs > Thanks for the feedback Tobi. 73's Greg, KI7MT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
