Sponsoring Maemo packages into Debian

Hi,

Now that the maemo-gtk and hildon situation is in a way
better shape
(thanks to the great efforts of the desktop team, which have
reduced
the gtk delta between maemo and upstream), I'd like to offer
package
sponsoring for the core of the libraries (for now) into
debian.

So, my conditions:

 * might have time to mentor.
 * the sponsoring will be strict (maybe a bit more than my
usual
   sponsoring standards).
 * no interest in anything that might go outside main.
 * no interest in actual maintainership.

And of course anything uploaded to debian will end up
eventually being
in ubuntu, even if it might not get the same support.

My hope is that this, combined with the debian armel port
might reduce
the massive forking proliferation that can be seen in maemo
right now,
and also make maemo more neutral.

regards,
guillem

To confirm, you are talking about creating packages of the
steps
documented on the Hildon Dekstop Partability[0] page of the
Maemo wiki?

If so then I would be interested, although a few questions
would arise.

Firstly, I just want to make sure we are talking about the
same thing
though!

It's great to hear the fine progress the team has been
making on
upstream alignment has reached the point where you can feel
comfortable sponsoring 

By the way, Hildon Desktop developers are doing great work
making it scale and decoupling it from the specifics of
maemo-gtk.
I expect it to be soon in shape for being packaged for
debian.

Sounds good. It's certainly worth investing effort on our
side
to make this happen.

It should help.
