I didn't received that message (I probably should have mentioned in my ITP that I'm not subscribed to the list). > Franklin PIAT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> I am looking for a sponsor for my package "amtterm". > > "Paul Wise" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes on 31.10.2007: > >> Quick review of the diff: >> >> The patches need proper authorship info (name and email) done. >> Might want to use quilt for the patches I've sticked to dpatch. >> 10_destdir.dpatch shouldn't be necessary, you can usually override >> makefile variables by doing something like $(MAKE) prefix=/usr Right, that's fixed. >> the homepage you specify is more of a download location, which usually >> goes in debian/copyright. probably best to remove it done. >> mk/*.dep and maybe Make.config look like they should be removed in >> debian/rules clean. done. I have also fixed lintian errors and other minor stuffs, and I have setup a repository, which could be moved to collab-maint. http://git.debian.org/?p=users/franklin-guest/amtterm.git Finally, i've uploaded that new package. > It seems that you did not react to Paul's suggestions to improve the > package.

The main problem seems that upstream isn't very active, as he didn't upload any update since I packaged it. > You might also be interested to hear that a collegue of mine, Michael > Gernoth (CC'ed) maintains a private git repository of amt at [1].

I'm not using the packages myself, so you can take it over. I can remain co-maintainer if you want some help (we still need a sponsor). > [1] http://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/amt Did he get in touch with upstream, to get those patches merged ?
