Hi Team, As I am new here, I would like to briefly introduce myself first. My name is Mike, 29 and I am running a small web development company in Poland. Recently I have switched to Ubuntu from Mac OS X. I used to use Debian years ago, so I feel kind of familiar when it comes to deal with Ubuntu. I have never dealt with packaging, though. Neither have I dealt with software development other than the web applications. Well, I actually had my moment with monotone and macports, but it was really simple thing, like keeping a portfile up-to-date. Although monotone is accessible from the universe repository, there is no fresh package. So I asked myself: why no to contribute? And here I am.
I went through some reading [1,2], subscribed this list, registered myself and my GnuPG key at the Launchpad, installed required packages and triend to upgrade the monotone packages by myself. Basically, I have done it step by step as it was described in both documents. It does not look scary too much :), but I would appreciate any advice how to do it well and in a safe way. Thing is, I cannot have yet another Ubuntu installation on my machine. In addition, due to my work, I cannot risk, that package maintenance and testing could affect my system and data in a bad way and make it useless or inaccessible for quite a while. This is the basic problem/doubt at the moment. I would gladly contribute, but I need some more clues on that topic.
