Thanks, Scott. > If you are interested in keeping the package up to date, please add yourself > to Uploaders and then get to work. Please make sure you use git-dpm on any > DPMT repositories. Cool, I'll add myself as an Uploader then. I will still need a sponsor for the first upload, however. I've been working closely with Gianfranco Costamagna, but if there's anybody here who'd like to sponsor me then that's fine as well. BTW, I consider the work I posted on my git repo (link above) to be basically finished (I'll just need to adjust the Uploaders part), so if someone is feeling like reviewing it I'd appreciate. I used git-dpm and follower the DPMT policy. Thanks, -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/
