I share the same opinion (I'm part of the Multimedia Team too :). Yes, if Roland wouldn't maintain guitarix for debian any more, I would love to work with the Debian Multimedia Team.

I have v0.34 already packaged, and it seems to work well :) (I don't intend to make much changes since it is an NMU). Is there a place where I can find the changes for v0.33 and v0.34? They aren't listed in the changelog file, and it would help me review the new features. Cheers, I'm glade to hear that. Well, I must admit that I recently fail to fill the changelog, but here is a pastebin of the recent changes from V0.32.2 to V0.34.0 http://pastebin.com/Dky31wwX regards hermann
Re: guitarix package in debian
Hi, Thanks again Hermann for looking after the status of the package in Debian :). I have already sent an email to Guitarix's Debian maintainer, Roland Stigge, to see if he keeps being interested on maintaining it (CC m...@qa.debian.org), in case someone was also thinking on pinging him and CCing MIA.

Thanks for helping to take care of guitarix in Debian as well as upstream. I see on the bug you have correctly tagged it as fixed upstream. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that a maintainer goes missing (most of the time only temporarily). But it is not cool to just take over and upload a new version. There is some information here about maintainers that are missing in action: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MIA As upstream, you could further help by adding a link in the Debian BTS to the upstream commit that fixes the bug, or attach a patch. Then someone could more easily do a Non Maintainer Upload (NMU) to keep guitarix in debian testing (or get it back there after removal).

Regards, Ross Thanks for your response Ross Well, indeed what I would like to ask here was a Non Maintainer Upload. I ain't looking for someone to take over the debian maintenance for guitarix, but just help out by a single upload of the latest version. I've had all the time a good contact to Roland and I'm pretty sure that Roland would be fine with a NMU. Just I wonder why I couldn't reach Roland in the last couple of month, so I decide to take some action, to force a update of guitarix in debian. I would love to have the latest version in debian/sid, instead only the fixes. There are a couple of other bug-fixes included in the latest version, which never get reported to debian, so a update to the last stable version would be the best solution. regards hermann
