I thought I had checked for duplicates with reportbug before filing, but it turns out reportbug couldn't reach the BTS at the time. Marcin, since I'm actively using heimdall at the moment, I'd like to get this into the archive sooner rather than later. I've prepared a package with the name from the original ITP, 'heimdall-flash'; I think this is better than 'android-tools-heimdall' since this isn't part of the android-tools upstream. I've also incorporated several fixes from your package, including your patch for the Qt #define conflict. If you're interested in maintaining this package long-term, I'm more than happy to hand it over to you after the initial upload... just as long as it keeps working with my device. ;) (Philipp, the same goes for you as the ITP owner - though you've been marked as owner since June, so maybe you're no longer interested in this package?) In the meantime, I'm uploading my package to the NEW queue. You can find my source package at <bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/heimdall/trunk/>. Hope you're having fun in Barcelona :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
