Hi Rosea,

This is very appreciated, I hope you'll have fun in doing this.

That's good to hear. Relating with upstream developers is something
really helpful you can do.

  GR> I've subscribed at alioth and have the name "rosea-guest".

I've added you to the pkg-multimedia Alioth project. So you should
have write commit to our git repository.

If you're completely new to git, I'd suggest that you have a look to
the git website (there are several tutorials available) and to the
documentation of git-buildpackage.

Our packaging guidelines are in

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging

And this page explains how to use git on Alioth:

Please note that as our new FAQ clearly states, having your source
package in the git repository is a requirement to have it
sponsored. This help both the sponsor and the sponsoree to get the job
done better and quicker.

Ciao!
