Bug#740793: RFA: x-tile
Hi, Please don't drop bug's address from Cc unless there's a good reason to do so. It makes harder to track things and it hides your contributions, which is a thing you don't really want if you're going to apply to DM :) On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 02:14:00PM +0100, Vijay Gopal Chilkuri wrote: On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 10:25:22AM +0100, Ricardo Mones wrote: Hi, Hi, and thanks for the fast reply.

Since you say you're a newcomer I hope you understand the sponsorship we're talking about here is nothing to be exchanged. It's just the process of uploading a package that somebody made by some other which has permissons to upload it to Debian archive: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What.27s_a_sponsor.2C_why_do_I_want_one.2C_and_how_do_I_get_one.3F Yes, I understand completely. I've been on the mailing list for one year now and have an impression of how things work in the debian community. I understand that the sponsorship implies nothing more than help regarding the uploading of packages. If the package x-tile is still up for adoption I would like to maintain it. I am a newcomer in the debian community. I also have a couple of my own applications that I would like to package for debian in the future. That said, I've been using linux for the last 5 years and have a strong background in C/Fortran/Python. Do you plan to apply for maintainer/developer¹? Have you made any Debian package²? Yes I plan to apply for debian maintainer. I have recently made a package to calculate quantum mechanical tables (Clebsh-Gordan coefficients) that I would like to make freely accessible on debian. I'm a French PhD student in the field of computational chemistry. The idea is that you must be able to do the maintenance completely by yourself in a near future. It's preferably that you try to package something first so you roughly understand the whole picture than trying to understand packaging made by somebody. Said that, it also depends on your skills, so if you're able to make a new package for x-tile (eventually addressing current bug) and upload it to mentors³ I'll be glad to review it. I understand, just to be clear, what i would like to do is to upload the (ideally) error free package on mentors.debian.org, is that fine with you Yes, please, that's the way to go. Point me to the URL when it's ready.
