My take on packaging crda/wireless-regdb can be seen/tested at: crda: Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-wpa/crda/trunk Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-wpa/crda/trunk/ wireless-regdb: Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-wpa/wireless-regdb/trunk Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-wpa/wireless-regdb/trunk/ Comments from my point of view: * the legal consequences of disabling crypto verification of regulatory.bin concern me because I simply do not know if there could be any in the future. * other consequences of disabling crypto verification are keeping Debian specific patches in sync with upstream. They are pretty simple though. * your previous comments contained something about developing a package for backporting to a theoretical lenny + 1/2 - I have no interest in targetting a package for anything other than current testing/sid and using all good features currently available there. If it is easy enough to make it backportable patches would be welcome. * enabled use of dpkg trigger to synchronise the country name -> country code matrix parsed from tzdata's zone.tab file. The result is stored in /etc/default/crda in a section clearly labelled as automatically managed by maintainer scripts. All other modification to the conffile done by admin are preserved. > > I note the release team's original freeze for squeeze is close and it > would be a shame to leave crda and wireless-regdb out of squeeze. > > PS: you should file an ITP for wireless-regdb and retitle #536502 to ITP Am not fully committed to maintaining these packages, would file ITP's if I was. Need to get (active) co-maintainers but haven't made a huge effort to do that yet. Would you be interested in being a co-maintainer or making package uploads with me?
