[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Volunteer to help cryptsetup packaging

Hi, Jonas. Thanks for answering. :)

Is the bug tracking system you're referring to bugs.debian.org? If yes, are
these the ones I should start having a look?

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=cryptsetup

Sorry for raising newbie questions, but after spending some time on the
debian-mentors list i thought it would be better and faster to go directly to
the instance where i could help packaging. I hope you have a little patience
(or point me other ways, othewise). ;)

Nice. I'm a debian stable user, so I guess I have to setup a chrooted
environment (like a vserver) in order to test the cryptsetup package on sid
and testing, is that correct?

I'm reading some doc to better understand the packaging process. If someone
has other info other than this one, I'd appreciate very much:

OK, thanks. I'll do my homework and come back as soon as I finish. :)

It would be nice, yes. Is there an irc channel where people that work on
cryptsetup debian package usually hang?

Thanks again,
Andre.
