It happens. Unfortunately I see this happening commonly, so I consider this as part of "the life cycle of a Debian developer" -- and in the back of my mind I'm wondering if/when it'll happen to me. > Instead of just taking over the maintenance, wouldn't you like to join > the MLMMJ packaging group, and package it as a team, still with me?

I'm guessing this involves joining the [pkg-mlmmj] project on Alioth. I'll send a request to join the group. I'm a DM, so after one or two uploads I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to flip the bit to allow me to upload directly so that I can upload and/or fix issues during times you're too busy to do package review.

Yes I've been on the [mlmmj] mailing list for a couple of years as well. I'll notify them about the problem and can send them a patch once I have one ready. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
