About adopt package
Hi mentors, I want to adopt a package - python-crypto which has been retitled to `IFA' by me. But I'm in a puzzle about the procedure. I try to contact the original maintainer, but no response. Below is the mail with my question. --- begin --- Hi, I noticed that you'd set the title of python-crypto to `RFA'. And I'm willing to adopt it. Can I? I'm not a DD or DM now. As a new one to do that and I'm not very familiar with the whole procedure in fact. So many things are new to me(manuals are so complex). Pls forgive me. I've retitle `RFA' to `ITA' now. What shall I do next? Fix bugs? If I want to do some update/modify what things I need concern about and how can I do that? Thanks for your time. --- end --- Any hints? Thanks -- zeal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

So many things are new to me(manuals are so complex). Pls forgive me. Asking questions here on debian-mentors is a good idea. However you must be willing to read the manuals. I've retitle `RFA' to `ITA' now. Good. What shall I do next? Fix bugs? Yes fixing bugs is good. Once you have fixed a few bugs, then upload your package to mentors.debian.net and then come back here to debian-mentors to request a sponsor (RFS). If I want to do some update/modify what things I need concern about and how can I do that? I'm afraid that you'll need to read the manuals to get started. You're always welcome on debian-mentors for more specific questions. Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: RFS: ecm -- prepares CD image files so they compress better
Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for my package ecm * Package name: ecm Version : 1.00 Upstream Author : Neill Corlett ne...@neillcorlet.com * URL : http://www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/ * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: C Description : prepares CD image files so they compress better I had a quick look at your package and did not find a problem, though I would have to give it a closer look before upload. Unfortunately, ecm seems to have a problem with files larger than 2 or 4 GB (I tried the 1st Debian Lenny DVD). I ended up with a file of size 381 MB :-((. I'm aware that ecm does not claim to handle DVD images, but it also does not refuse to handle them. I consider this a grave bug (data loss). I did another test with the first Debian Etch CD. ecm reduced the size of the image by 0.03%. Compressing the original ISO and the ecm-prepared version with bzip2 gave a 0.097% advantage for the ecm-prepared version. Do you have any number where ecm shows a reasonable gain? Ruben Molina kindly pointed out to me that my test setup was flawed. ecm should be applied to RAW files, not to ISO files. Another test with a RAW image gave a similar improvement to what is reported on the ecm homepage (~15% after compression). Loic: I'm happy to sponsor this upload if you can get the data loss bug fixed. There might be some small changes to the packaging needed, but I'm confident that these can be easily sorted out.
