Thanks for taking care of the package! > 1. Is there some sort of deadline to ensure Vizigrep does not get dropped? The package will get dropped from testing in two weeks, that's Aug 14th. You can get more information here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vizigrep > 2. What is the process for submitting my changes once I am done? I used to > know this at one time... Is there a wiki page I should follow? So, there are many ways in which you can package your software. Personally, I like to use git for keeping track of all the packaging code. Check the wiki[0] page for getting started if you want to give this method a try. I also encourage you to take a look to the New Maintainer's guide[1]. [0] https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ Once you have your package ready, you have to find a sponsor for it. For this, I encourage you to contact the person that sponsored the package for the first time. Cheers, Rul
