Hi all,

My free time has become reduced lately, and I think I won't get more
in the foreseeable future. This has meant that I have less time for
maintaining csound (and qutecsound) in debian. Therefore, I'm asking
for help with maintaining the package within the Debian Multimedia
Team. I will continue to work on the package as time permits, and can
help with any issues that may arise.

Packaging is mostly about:
1. Makefile scripting, so knowledge of make is useful.
2. *Some* knowledge of how the actual software works and its internals
(the more the better but being a full C wizard is not required, you
can ask for help when the need arises).
3. Managing bug reports (this doesn't mean actually solving them.
Forwarding them here when appropriate is usually enough).
4. Communicating with upstream (that is, keep in touch in this list).
5. And most importantly, actually use csound and debian (or at least ubuntu) ;)


If anybody wants to help, please let me know. I have not started
packaging the latest csound 5.17.x release, so we can use that as a
training exercise to get familiar with the packaging and tools.


Saludos,
Felipe Sateler

I'll do it! Not only do I meet all those qualifications, I've been
spending most of my time recently trying to get csound working on
debian -- might be a little more productive of me to do that for
everyone instead of just myself.
