I asked him earlier about other activities he had packaged, and he gave the go-ahead to take then over. I'm CCing him now to see whether that is also okay for Speak. I'd advise repackaging Speak importing with pristine-tar etc and starting work from there. Most of the issues you encountered (non-git related, that is) are because Speak uses debhelper directly. I recommend adapting it to use CDBS. - -- Luke Faraone <a href="http://luke.faraone.cc" target="_blank">http://luke.faraone.cc</a> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkxNBZgACgkQtrC51grHAgaTDgCgonb/g+RVGJp5vErpkVlYXYq8 UCUAn0rvSsLQgW/AKi1U2TB/gn3WIWm0 =fX3d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </blockquote></div>
