Lutok is a C++ library that just so happens to interface with Lua... so I'm not sure it qualifies. That said, I'm obviously open to any feedback and reviews from the team! Enrico Tassi has the last word on the focus of the team, but: - the project description on Alioth does not exclude non-module packages This project is for development and maintenance of Debian packages and infrastructure related to the Lua programming language. - based on my experience in previous teams (especially on the Debian Common Lisp one), having a single point of contact for questions related to all $LANGUAGE packages is really useful.

Exactly. This software seems to be really tight to Lua, so It would be nice to have it close to it. For example when I change the lua5.1 package I also recompile all the lua packages in the svn repository just to be sure I did not break them. In case the policy for lua packages gets changed, or lua packages get renamed, you may also get a patch for free ;-) Unless you have serious concerns against an svn repository (that will eventually become a git one) I suggest you put your package there.

The problem is that someone claims that he has copyrights on some of these files. So far, correct. It doesn't actually matter, what I or anyone else thinks about that, unless it's a judge ruling that said files are not copyrightable. The suggested replacement file though is from the same copyright holder, contains the same text. This all suggests that the copyright holder relicensed the information stored in the file under a free license. So for stable, just the license information would need to get updated, AIUI. If a sponsor is needed for the stable update, please give me a ping.

Bug#675532: RFS: bilibop/0.1 (ITP #675467)
Hi, Le 2012-06-09 15:01, intrigeri a écrit : quid...@poivron.org wrote (08 Jun 2012 22:35:21 GMT) : I am waiting: - for new comments from you or another DD - to find by myself something to optimize in the code How long do you intend to wait? This was not a question of time. Here is the new version: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.3.0.dsc Another possibility would be to move to non-native and increment the Debian revision number only. In the present case, we would move from 0.2-1 to 0.2-2, which would reflect the actual changes quite better. For me, this solution, if it is one, implies a lot of issues: For bilibop-common, of course, no problem. With some minor changes, maybe bilibop-rules could be fully portable too. But bilibop-lockfs, in its actual state, is distribution dependent; it depends on initramfs-tools, which is a Debian native source package. If I rewrite bilibop-lockfs to make it more portable (i.e to integrate it in the 'dracut' infrastructure) it will never be installed on Debian, because the default initramdisk builder is initramfs-tools, which conflicts with dracut. But maybe I'm wrong and I have a bad overview on this issue. Maybe bilibop-lockfs could be only a debian patch. Or what ? I think it is entirely possible, even though not perfectly elegant, to turn the package into a non-native one without immediately making the code distro-independent and well separated between the Debian patch and the upstream code. Some tests with other distributions and some investigations in the udev source package have shown that bilibop-rules is distribution dependant too: for example, with CentOS or OpenSUSE, usb drives are owned by the 'disk' group. Bilibop-common is the result of the split of bilibop into bilibop-rules and bilibop-lockfs (because the first one can be used only on removable devices, including LiveUSB; and the second one can be used on any internal or external system except Live). So, I don't understand the interest/benefit to build a non-native source package that would be used only on Debian. Surely it is entirely possible, but I don't think everything possible must be done.
