But I have not agreed to comaintain the package with you. This should be clear that you and I are not comaintainers, and anyone sponsoring an upload that adds you as a comaintainer should have the good sense to either check with the existing uploaders, or remove them from debian/control, before sponsoring. I'm really, perfectly fine with you taking over the package. I do not have time to maintain it to the level you're seeking, and I am not going to commit any more time to it because I have no attachment to this software. I only object to having my name attached to work that's not my own, or to changes being made in NMU that are not the prerogative of an NMUer. If it's a practical problem to find sponsorship for such an adoption without a clear paper trail, then I'm happy to either file an RFA: bug or do a no-change upload setting you as the uploader and letting you take it from there. > It will be an experimental version, so I can handle the remaining bug > reports for the removal of freetype-config. > Then, unless any bugs come in, a second version will be released to > Unstable. > > I'll also add a git repository for freetype before making that second > version. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
