There are of course more ways to be active in the team than introducing new packages. In fact, I think that packaging new stuff is not the best way to learn packaging. How about helping out with bug triaging and improving existing packages in the team? About your packages, it seems that nobody in this team has expressed interest in them. And if nobody else cares for a package, team maintenance doesn't make much sense IMO. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Re: clibgrab review: was: Introduction
I did not understand the thing with the itp-bug. Because clipgrab.xpm and the name is not licensed under the GPLv3, I added the original copyright file to the package. The author allowed me to use it with the Debian package. I am still no member of a team, so where the maintainer field should point to? The description is not terse, the program doesn't do more, that I have descriped. I have corrected the desktop file and removed libstdc++-dev from the build dependencies. -- gpg-id: B4F786B1 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
