Hello again,

thanks for your speedy reply.

 alioth for a project called pkg-blender, so let's use it when it's
 ready.

Wonderful, let's rock!

I guess we won't need to check in the full sources, but probably the
debian/ dir will suffice, as long as we use dpatch and separately
apply the patch for #22 / #333958... Every once in a while alioth
is pretty clogged, so I'd like to keep things small...

Wouter, I see you already have an account larstiq-guest, right?

Cheers,
Flo

Great! I would appreciate having you around, Masayuki. Any idea how long
it takes for the pkg-blender project to be created?

Sounds sensible to me.

Yup, that's me. Haven't used it in a while, so I'll see what needs to be
done to get it active again.

Hello folks,

now coming back to this issue as my NMU of blender has finally migrated
to Testing / Etch.

   In the past Masayuki has mentioned lack of time, if that is still the
   case, I'm willing to take over (or become part of a team), as I'm now
   much more able to do so. I'm still not a DD yet though.
  
  FWIW, as I'm quite interested in this program, I'd happily join a
  team, provided Hatta-san's time indeed is too limited and he'll hand
  over the package.
  Wouter, I see you previously have already prepared 2.26-1 as well as
  directly contributed to Blender development, so I'm afraid you
  wouldn't leave any work for me ;). Well, at least the DD part is what
  I could still do...
 
 Don't be too sure of that ;) You've been handling bugs when I wasn't,
 I'd be quite happy to work together with you on blender, if Hatta-san
 so agrees.

Masayuki, please don't take this as a personal insult:

Even though you seem to be continously working on most of the packages
you (co-)maintain as well as sponsoring people there are apparently
some packages that are ranked at a lower priority, accumulating RC
bugs, patches and / or NMUs over time and slowly bitrotting.
Both Wouter and me would like to work on the blender packaging for
Debian, possibly in team-maintenance via alioth. So, we can offer to
lighten your load by taking over maintainership or, at least, by
acting as co-maintainers and directly working on the package.

Please tell us what you think.

Cheers,
Flo

Right, these days I only have sporadic free time, and tend to
concentrate on other FLOSS activities anyway.  I too think now is the
time for clearance sale ;-)

I'm still toying Blender sometimes, so I would like to be involved
