Great to see your interest in this. Please post the full .dsc url (so I can simply dget it, and I don't care much about you using mentors or not.... that's mainly a thing to allow you to practise the signing and dput way that you'll need to be aquanted with once you get credentials to do official uploads). > I hope this is the correct way to proceed (I did not intend to offend > the maintainer snatch this upload away from somebody else). I don't think you need to worry about offending anyone here. We have a 0day NMU policy for RC bugs after all and generally maintainers should be just happy when you help them out (even though I know not everyone reacts like that unfortunately). I have to wonder though if this package really is maintained at all? (The officially listed maintainer hasn't touched the package since 2010.) Would you consider adopting it if not? Either way I think we should take the time to investigate the maintenance status and either give the package to Debian QA team if noone is interested in adopting it while we're doing an upload here. > > > I have made some small changes from your attached debdiff: > * the line numbers appeared to be off by two lines > * I adjusted the changelog > > Please let me know if the uploaded source package is ok or if anything > should be changed.
