Re: RFS: projectm
Hi! I would be willing to co-maintain this package with you if you are interested. Great! I added you to the list... Have you considered contacting the Debian multimedia team? I'm sure someone there would be interested in sponsoring projectm. I'm not subscribed to the Debian Multimedia list, but I'll send a request to the list now. About the autotools issue, you can essentially update the build system in the form of a patch. If it's nothing more than rerunning autoreconf, than you just run it, acquire the diff of the build system, and then use that diff for patching and unpatching the build system at build time. Not necessary. projectM uses cmake, the Autotools-Scripts are just some cruft from MacOs build or old projectM versions. I did a Lintian override for those errors, because they're not relevant for compiling.

But I'm sure when I ran apt-get build-dep roxterm recently it downloaded lots of tex packages, and there are no other likely looking candidates. xmlto recommends dblatex or fop. For full format support you need one of these toolchains. So you probably had your system configured to automatically install recommended packages and dblatex pulls in several TeX packages.
