hey Geoffroy, No problem. Actually, its quite easy to be a maintainer of a package w/o being a debian developer - there's a process called sponsorship that lets you do so. There's no requirement that you be a Debian Developer in order to maintain a package, though it does help. However, maintaining (or at least, *properly maintaining*) SystemImager packages is still a fairly timeconsuming job. Besides the obvious work of keeping up with upstream changes, there's also tracking the Debian kernel, dealing with toolchain compatability issues (since SI compiles a significant amount of userspace), architecture issues, and the one that always bit me: testing. Team maintenance seems like a much better approach than expecting a single person to handle all of this. Either way, I expect/hope that any future contributions you make will be welcomed by the future maintainer(s). -- dann frazier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
