[DebianGIS-dev] Maintainance of package gpsdrive

[Johan Van de Wauw]

I can only can only speak for myself, and I'm not involved with
gpsdrive: any help with our packages is definitely appreciated.
However I think it may be useful to keep the package under group
maintainership, because some dependencies are shared (I see
libmapnik/openstreetmap icons/...)
Maybe the best way is to keep debian gis as the maintainer and add you
as an uploader? This is the way that it is done for most packages,
including the current gpsdrive package.

Apart from that: debian/squeeze is frozen now - you/we should decide
if we ask a freeze exception for the package (but then I guess it
should be there very quickly - and of good quality) or whether we fix
the bugs in the old package and build a new package for
experimental/squeeze+1? Are there perhaps reasons why the package was
not yet updated?
