[Monotone-debian] Bug#574609: RFH: monotone -- a distributed version (revision) control system; more maintainers needed

[Ludovic Brenta]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: address@hidden

monotone is maintained by a team on a dedicated mailing list[1].
This team currently consists of two maintainers, both of whom
are too busy with other things, and one sponsor (myself).

We need more manpower and more redundancy in the team; therefore
this is a call for help; any interested person can join the team
by simply saying hello on the list.  If you are a Debian Developer
or Debian Maintainer, you can act as a second sponsor for the
package.  If not, you can help by providing patches and updates
and we'll be happy to grand you write permissions on the
repository.

The packaging scripts are under version control using monotone,
of course.  They are in the upstream database in a branch separate
from the upstream sources.

To build the package from source:

$ tar xzf monotone-$VERSION.tgz
$ cp -a monotone-$VERSION monotone-$VERSION.orig
$ cd monotone-$VERSION
$ mtn clone monotone.ca org.debian.monotone debian
$ dpkg-buildpackage -i
