</div>Technically if the package is maintained by a team, it should be adopted<br>
by the team.<br>
<br>
That said, if noone else in the team uses it, I would expect you to<br>
stick around to support it.<br>
<br>
Anybody else uses it? Or Ventrilo?<br>

</div>What about 'Copyright 2010 Roman Tetelman'? The copyrights file needs<br>
some work, I believe. There's also '"humbaba" <anonymous>' mentioned in<br>
debian/copyright . Was this raised in the mentors list?<br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div>To fill out the upstream authors section of debian/copyright, I quoted verbatim the AUTHORS file in the source tarball (which includes "humbaba <anonymous>). I don't know if any other names should be mentionned if they aren't present in AUTHORS.</div>

</div>Two other issues I had with the package:<br>
<br>
1. Do you really need libdmalloc-dev as a build dependency? It is not<br>
mentioned in <a href="http://www.mangler.org/building/" target="_blank">http://www.mangler.org/building/</a> .<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Removed libdmalloc-dev, thanks. I also took a closer look at some of the optional build dependencies I neglected to add and included them in debian/control (libxosd, g15tools, espeak, celt).</div><div>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
2. Is libmangler3 an independent library or an internal one? If it is an<br>
independent library, it should be packaged in its own package (or<br>
rather: two: one for the dev package).<br>
<br>
I noticed it already has SONAME 3. Why is that?<br> </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><font color="#888888">

</font></blockquote></div><br><div>To be honest, I can't answer either of those above questions. However, as far as I know, Mangler is the only open-source Ventrilo client and is the only application on Linux that would use libventrilo3. No idea what "SONAME 3" means, sorry.</div>
