I can't claim my Debian dev-knowledge is great, but we can certainly work on that. Maybe it would be sane to start by porting the Ubuntu-style packaging I did for LOD2 back to Debian? ~Tim -- Tim Haynes Product Development Consultant OpenLink Software <http://www.openlinksw.com/> <http://twitter.com/openlink>

But we have things to show! The current develop/7 branch on github <https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/> contains a completely revamped debian/ subdirectory; we've merged some aspects of work done for the LOD2 project and reviewed the existing Debian patches; the result is an upstream source tree that builds a pleasantly granular set of packages (server, minimal server, ODBC drivers, JDBC drivers, etc) natively. This will be included in release 7.2 due hopefully very soon. It seems this would be a fortuitous moment to ask: if I'm wanted to be regarded as the VOS maintainer in Debian, how do I go about officially signing on?

I did a bit of work on this a few months ago - essentially porting the Ubuntu package structure to Debian (IIRC Testing, as it was then). I'm working with the other VOS admin/developers here to get this branch published on github, so that will at least give something concrete to test and we can take it from there how it makes its way into Debian.
