[Bug 420918] Re: please update libcapi

[Rolf Leggewie]

Benjamin, yes I agree and I'd be willing to act as maintainer in Debian.
But not as sole maintainer because frankly my skill set and available
time are not up for the task.  I've been talking to a few people to form
a team for maintainership but so far no positive reactions.  I guess the
task is pretty daunting.  Benjamin, Stefan and everybody else, would you
be willing to join such a team?  Other commitments such as indication of
willingness to act as a mentor (not sponsor, I know a  few DD myself)
would also be more than welcome and increase the chance for a succesful
adoption.

That being said, I don't think that option is really available for the
lucid timeframe (and we already missed karmic!).  Even if the team
formed rather quickly, Debian would first have to resolve bug 511988 and
move to 3.12.20071127.  That needs testing and can't be done in a knee-
jerk reaction, I think.  For Lucid, I would rather patch the version
that is already there instead of going to Debian first.  Unfortunately,
there just isn't enough time, I think.
