[please do NOT cc me replies:-] I don't think this is really a matter for debian-private anymore, so I'm moving it to devel.
Given the creation of a bo-updates directory for those of us who wish to provide backported versions of hamm packages for bo (thanks Guy!), we now have the possibility to do this. However, to avoid making a mess, I think it would be better if it were coordinated to some degree, and volunteered. I would really feel more comfortable if someone else would step forward, but I'll do my best. I dont' have any power, so we are going to have to participate to make this work. Ok, here is a shot at a list of packages that someone needs to do for bo-updates. It was generated with pkg-revdeps, and I'm not sure this does all that we need - we may need something that shows dependencies on specific versions as well... Things to port to bo-unstable from hamm: dpkg-dev patch perl perl-suid bash (will we have any of the weird libreadline problems? probably not, as they are both libc5, right?) libc5 libreadline2 libc5 ncurses3.0 ncurses3.0 apache ldso libc5 mime-support perl Things already done: (nothing uploaded though) epic lftp mutt patch Please look over the relevant section in the policy manual. Pkg-order, for those interested, is a perl script, so it's (tahnkfully), easy to install on bo.
