I see you are talking about me ;-> The mldonkey pacakge is ready, he is lintian clean and debconfized. I am not sure of his quality and wait for my sponsor to check it ( ie Jerome ). I have restricted the numbre of people that have access to this package for very simple reason : i need direct return on this package. One people was Goswin ( unreachable ), Two were DD and Four was friend of mine i see everyday. They use debian and help me to debug the package. The problem with this package : documentation is big ( especially manpage ). That the main reason why it takes me time to do release ( as of today we have reached 2.4.3 and my package ( from tuesday ) is 2.4.2 ). I am not yet a DD but i hope to be one someday ( mldonkey will be my sponsorised package to enter debian, if i can prove my worth ). I think jerome, if he has time, will be perfect to sponsorize me ( if Stefano want to do so, i have no problem ). I am used of sponsor / comaintainership ( as i sent to Jerome : http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mtink.html ). But my experience with this package was not very good, as it is only a sort of toy package for me. MLDonkey is a more day to day use for me. Regard Sylvain LE GALL ps : concerning upload to debian, i prefer to be sure of the quality of the 1st version of mldonkey to enter unstable, because, first user will judge mldonkey on this first package ( if i fail, i will lose all credibility for this package ).
