There are several types of package we are currently discussing. First, there are packages which I generally use and can actively care for them. For those package, I try maintain to them properly as NM: http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are, however, packages, which I don't use on a regular basis, but we have around in ubuntu. I would feel way more comfortable if the maintainer field was pointing to a mailinglist for collaborative work, you suggested [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'm okay with that. The following packages fall in a similar category: wifi-radar (packaged by Ante Karamatic), which handles wifi configuration, and min12xxw (packaged by Stefan Potyra), a printer driver. Those packages should work in debian just fine, but I cannot rule out the possibility that they could make problems in a debian system because they are quite hardware/kernel/environment (sudo to name) dependend. So a team consisting of both debian and ubuntu users caring for them in a common svn would my best IMO. I'm CC: ubuntu-motu for more input. how do you think about this? Can/Should we maintain 'easy' packages, which are very likley to 'just work' in debian under our own hat or should every package we want to be in debian be under the utnubu hat? -- regards, Reinhard -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
