Hi guys,<br><br>I'm a regular volunteer in the #winehq IRC channel (man_in_shack). Some of you may know me :) I also maintain a few applications on AppDB and have had a couple of bugs found and fixed via bugzilla posts.<br>
<br>I've been building Wine packages for my Debian systems for a while and now I've written myself some helper scripts to make the task trivial :) I build both amd64 and i386 packages.<br><br>I'd like to request that I take over Scott Ritchie's position as maintainer for the winehq Debian packages as he seems to have all but abandoned Debian package building. I have the following caveats:<br>
1) I don't have a suitable place to upload the packages (in terms of bandwidth restrictions)<br>2) At the moment, I'm not sure if the packages are suitable for an apt repository, as I don't have proper Changelogs or source packages. I'm not entirely sure what I'd need to do for this, so help would be appreciated<br>
3) I'm fully set up to produce etch packages (Scott's packages aren't etch-compatible any more) as well as packages for lenny and sid<br>4) I'm not asking to take over Ubuntu package building (Scott seems to be good at this, and I don't have nor want an Ubuntu system)<br>
5) I can be *very* quick to produce packages, as in the day after release (or even building packages from non-release revisions in git if required)<br><br>Involvement in wine is fun!<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Ben Klein<br>
