Last months I’ve being doing some tasks in order to become a Debian Maintainer.<\/p>\n
First, because of some requirements at work, I have being repackaging some pieces of software<\/a> so I’ve learned about the Debian packages architecture. Once I was confident with what I was doing and I needed to know more about customizing a package (not just rebuilding one) I read the Debian New Maintainers’ Guide<\/a> and the Debian Policy Manual<\/a>, I made some new packages and subscribe myself to the Debian mailing lists<\/a> I thought they would be profitable.<\/p>\n Some weeks after that I realized the amount of mails I was receiving was so huge that I hadn’t the time to even skim them in order to read the interesting ones so I desubscribe myself from the lists I knew I wasn’t going to read ever.<\/p>\n Indeed, some weeks ago, the amount of mails received from the lists I thought I could read was so big that now I’m starting to think of desubscribing myself from all the mailing lists but the mentors one.<\/p>\n In the end, I’ve not found the time needed to start the race to become a Debian Maintainer. I think the dedication needed is so high that I should spend a cople of hours everyday.<\/p>\n I hope I could find an orphaned package<\/a> interesting enough to give me the energy to retry to be a Debian Maintainer ;-).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last months I’ve being doing some tasks in order to become a Debian Maintainer.
