No, I don't have access to collab-maint yet.

If you've collab-maint access, you can push your patch or let me know,
I need to send request to give you access.

Oh, cool. That's a bit further than I've gotten so far.

One thing I've noticed is that the package FTBFS in the current form,
i.e. I have to run debuild twice to build it. A possible way to fix
this is attached as patch.

Setting up a repo would be good indeed. Could you do that? I would be
in favor of git as VCS, but feel free to choose something else. I
guess you will need my alioth account name. It is davrieb-guest.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] also clean stamp files in libgwibber*

Unless that is done the package needs two debuild runs to build successfully.

I've tried to rebuild Ubuntu source+some fixes. You can have a look at,
http://people.debian.org/~kartik/packages/gwibber/

This is where we can go ahead. We can setup collab-maint repo etc.

Not possible since gwibber is no longer in testing.

Better idea, indeed.

Pleased to hear that. Thanks.

One question about that.

I thought it might be a possibility to try to get the current version
in unstable RC-bug free and try to get a freeze-exception once that is
done.

The other possibility would be to just package current upstream and
provide packages in wheezy-backports once wheezy is out.

What do you think?

Thanks,
David

Hi Joseph, Hi Kartik,

I would also be insterested in taking over the gwibber packaging.
My current progress can be found at
.

Sure thing. I would be glad to maintain the package with you.

I am not a Debian Developer myself, so we would still have to find
someone within Debian to sponsor uploads of the package.

Karitk, would you potentially available as a sponsor?

I have built and maintained Debian packages before, but only for work
and my own private use. So, my experience is a bit limited so far.

First thing would probably be to download the source package or check
out my git repository. Then get yourself comfortable with the
packaging and the tools involved.

Fell free to contact me if you have questions? Another good place to
ask questions is debian-ment...@lists.debian.org.

Thanks,
David

Anytime.

Best deal is to first do following:
1. Get latest Ubuntu source package.
2. Rebuilt it on Debian Sid without Unity support (you may need to patch)
3. Look for Debian Policy updates, fixes. (Lintian and other usual ways)
4. Test.
5. Done :)

You may need Debian API key to connect with Twitter. Feel free to
create one, else posting will show as Ubuntu. Check current source for
idea.

[Joseph Parkton]

I was looking through RFA and came across this package, I used to blog
with it often in Ubuntu and would like to know if anyone is interested
in working on this project with me? I am brand new to the development
side of things and would like to maintain this package with the guidance
of the Debian community. How would I get involved on this project and if
necessary take it over. Can someone respond privately and let me know
how to?

retitle 573822 RFA: gwibber -- microblogging client for GNOME
thanks

I'm giving up Gwibber for adoption to any much better active
maintainer who can deal with fast moving upstream :) If no one comes
out, I'm planning to orphan package too.

Best luck!
