Re: Maintainer of package joystick may be missing
Dear Aníbal, I uploaded the button and axis remapping patch against joystick/20051019-1.1. This most recent patch also includes updates for the jscal manpage, documenting the new command line arguments. Thank you for your help.

Maintainer of package joystick may be missing
Dear Debian MIA Team, I made a small patch for the jscal.c in the joystick package. I then tried to contact the maintainer, Edward Betts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 09/17/2007, with no success. As recommended on the page 'Debian Developer's Reference Chapter 7 / Dealing with inactive and/or unreachable maintainers', I tried to gather information on Edward Betts: - his debian home page http://people.debian.org/~edward/ does not seem to have content newer than 08-Dec-2005 - according to http://asdfasdf.debian.net/~tar/bugstats/?edward%40debian.org, he has not uploaded anything for two years - there are 2 patches against hist joystick package that are not included, the latest dates from 01 Nov 2005 - searching for Edward Betts on google, I have not noticed anything after 2005 Unfortunately going to the developers' LDAP database (https://db.debian.org/) did not yield the date when he last posted to a Debian mailing list (this was suggested in the Developers' Reference). Please show me the way I can have my patch included in jscal.c of the joystick package. I believe it is useful and I immediately wanted to share it with others. This however turns out to be a lot more difficult than I expected. Edward Betts seems to be unavailable for almost two years now, and so there is nobody to apply my - or the other 2 in the queue - patch to the source. I thank you for your kind help in advance.

You could try submitting it upstream, but that looks just as inactive: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3063 Eduard Bloch, one of the people listed in joystick debian/copyright is active within Debian. http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/j/joystick/current/copyright Perhaps if you contact him, he would be willing to commit the patch upstream and know how to contact Edward. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
