But I can't reasonably commit to maintain these two packages on the long term; besides, not being a Ruby guy, I'm concerned that just staying on top of current pkg-ruby-extras best practices would add some overhead on my side that I'd rather skip. So I'd rather not be listed in the Uploaders field. What I can do, though, is use the packages daily, on my personal systems (sid) and on the Tails infrastructure (generally Debian stable), file as good bug reports as I can, and send you folks pull requests whenever I can do that without leaving my comfort zone too much. So, who wants to be commit to maintain the package (== be listed in the Uploaders field)? Antonio and/or Miguel? Anyone else? Another option (that I like less, but well) could be that I try to maintain the package as long as it's easy, and I shout and ask for help whenever it gets harder / more Ruby -specific. > when you have code to create the boxes, would you please add them to > http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/cloud/debian-vm-templates.git/ ? > (feel free to send me patches if you don't want to go through the hoops to > obtaining write access etc) I'll check with anonym how we do boxes, and we'll see if/how it applies to Debian cloud images. > or does it use the virtualbox boxes the way they are? I think we can either trivially convert a VirtualBox box with qemu-img, or build a dedicated one e.g. with vmdebootstrap. Cheers! -- intrigeri
