Thanks for your fast reply, Manoj. Wasn't sure if or when you'll reply to my mail, so I didn't put much detail into my previous message. Whether we do this together or not is up to you, as I do not have commit access, so I would have to find a mentor for my package anyway. I realize Debian is under freeze right now, so this might be an awkward time for new packages. Here's the detail to the package on https://mentors.debian.net/package/fvwm,
- It's the newest release as of now (2.6.5). - Source is the same as upstream except the debian/ folder has been removed. - debian/copyright has been reformatted to follow DEP-5, with (I hope) all the information intact. - I've broke up fvwm_2.5.30.ds-1.1.diff into quilt (3.0) format, under debian/patches/. - Changed the build system to debhelper. - What used to be under /usr/share/doc/fvwm/sample.fvwmrc/ are now in /usr/share/doc/fvwm/examples/. - /usr/share/xsessions/Fvwm.desktop is now named fvwm.desktop (everything else under /usr/share/xsessions/ seems to be lowercase). Every other files should remain the same (from users' perspective. How the files got there is different -- through using debhelper). I have attached a diff between the old and new filelists.
