Re: [DebianGIS-dev] Maintainance of package gpsdrive
I can only can only speak for myself, and I'm not involved with gpsdrive: any help with our packages is definitely appreciated. However I think it may be useful to keep the package under group maintainership, because some dependencies are shared (I see libmapnik/openstreetmap icons/...) Maybe the best way is to keep debian gis as the maintainer and add you as an uploader? This is the way that it is done for most packages, including the current gpsdrive package. Apart from that: debian/squeeze is frozen now - you/we should decide if we ask a freeze exception for the package (but then I guess it should be there very quickly - and of good quality) or whether we fix the bugs in the old package and build a new package for experimental/squeeze+1? Are there perhaps reasons why the package was not yet updated?

Re: [DebianGIS-dev] Maintainance of package gpsdrive
I agree about that I should become an uploader for the package but let the team remain the maintainer. As for the squeeze being frozen problem, I think it would be better to package one for squeeze+1. Bilal Akhtar.
