Hello,
I think it might be time that we take responsibility and offer to
maintain the open-sTeam Debian packages ourselves ;-)
I must admit that I'm not a Debian packaging expert, although I've
managed to build my own steam packages using fakeroot and dpkg-
buildpacke so far. I'll have to look into the online docs and see what
I need to do to properly maintain the package.
I've just been successful in putting up a project for steam on the
openSUSE build service, too, so I have some packaging experience with
RPM packages, and will hopefully be able to maintain proper Debian
packages, too.
By the way, Alain has written a seminar work about packaging steam for
debian and the debian build and maintainance process, so I have some
good docs to start with ;-)
Best regards,
Robert

Hi,
steam hasn't seen maintainer uploads in quite a while, and is lagging
behind upstream. I suggest we try to find a new maintainer for it.
I am sorry to say that, but I wasn't able to do some work for Debian
and will not be in the near future. I am lacking a Debian
installation at the moment and due to missing net connection most of
the time, I can't use my internet server for packaging.
The upstream has some packaging skill an they might be intrested in
maintain this by themselves. They're actually maintaining Debian
sarge scripts in distrib/debian-3.1 on their own. They only need a
good sponsor.
Bye,
Alain
