[PD-dev] Re: [PD-announce] Unofficial pd-0.35-test26 for Debian

Hi,

it took this to pd-dev, because I think, pd-announce should better be
reserved for announcements only - or what do you guys think?

Of course I would be really proud to maintain PD on Debian/Agnula, and
that's meant honest. 

For my package I didn't run any lintian checks, neither did I look at
the pending bugs. I just copied over the debian-directory from pd-0.32
and made some minor arrangements, for example use dh_link to link
/usr/lib/pd/doc/html to /usr/share/doc/pd/html and such. Also I did
not follow debian-dev for about a year, so maybe there are some policy
violations that I'm not aware of. And I didn't build correct source
packages, *.dsc and *.changes yet, so for a NM-upload I would need to
do some more work.

But if you want to give away PD packaging and maybe lead me a bit
through the new-maintainer queue, I would be willing to maintain PD or
just do some Non-Maintainer-Uploads of better checked PD packages than
the current one.

ciao,
