I do not think you are hijacking anything, Matthias (again cc:ed) can join your effort later. And since you explicitly asked for a maintainer, then the situation will cleanly solve by itself :-) >> 2) debian/control [...] >> * Maintainer/Uploaders [...] > Added myself. Have you removed Peter Van Eynde? If not, please do so. If you want at least one member of the Debian CL team there, just add myself. But as you will read later on this post, you are now officially part of the Debian CL team ;-) >> * Description >> >> While it is correct, I would expand it a bit more to include some >> features, similar to cl-arnesi [11]. > > Hmm, I could probably use some help there.

I do not like to pollute the debian/ folder with single-line files. Obviously, this is my opinion on this matter, so feel free to follow it or not. Now that I think of it, one advantage of using .docs and .install files is that their content can be automatically parsed, but AFAIK there has not been such a tool yet. > OK, so I used darcs get and added my debian dir but I cannot push it. > Do I need some type of permissions? Yes, you need to be part of the Debian CL team. > My alioth user is still bddebian-guest. :-( You are a DD, thus your Alioth login is now "bdefreese" [1]. Since Alioth uses the developer SSH keys by default [2], you should already be able to access to Alioth with "bdefreese" as well. I would prefer to add you as "bdefreese", since this is fixed while your -guest account will eventually disappear. Is there any reason I should add you with your old -guest account? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://alioth.debian.org/users/bdefreese [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/05/msg00008.html
