Don't know though how much time I've got to spend on this, but like to getting involved. At least to test packages and to submit bugs, but maybe more. > Are there any debian developers/maintainers or people with debian > packaging knowledge (or general packaging knowledge) here? Well, I've made one package from scratch long time ago when I thought getting involved with Debian, + I've build some packages from source packages, so have some knowledge about how Debian works. > Some packages we already have in debian, or did have at one stage: > > ming (seems to have been removed during the development of sarge - woody > has 0.2a.cvs20020110-1) Is ming project still active? > swfdec (0.3.4 in sid) > gplflash (0.4.13 in sid) > flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.25-5 in non-free) > > Would someone like to put together a priority list for people who will > package stuff for debian? Soon eclipse 3.1.1 should be in Debian: http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary-man-di//index.php?p=27 So maybe talk to debian-java people how package eclipse plugins and then package ASDT and some other plugins. And try to get them built with free java from the Classpath project. > I have some ideas on how this would work: > > We would have a central mailing list for discussion of packaging issues, > and have an svn space for projects to maintain their debian packaging > bits, so that all the flash packages can be group maintained, in a > similar way to the perl modules in debian and several other types of > packages are maintained. > > Any other suggestions?
