Wanted: maintainer for Ubuntu Launchpad mirror

[indolering]

Thanks to PMC we have Ubuntu packages for Namecoin. However, the process isn't as smooth or professional as a Launchpad PPA. I attempted to start one up a while back but I got bogged down in other commitments. But it should be very easy to add the package to Launchpad. Even if you just setup a script to keep it in sync with PMC's packages above, I would be happy to keep a server running to keep it up to date. Hell, if you just set it up and explained to me how to update it I'll take it over I just don't have time to figure it out right now.

If someone adds the ubuntu package manifest/Makefiles to Vinced's Github repository (use dh_make command for skeleton) I'd maintain Ubuntu PPA builds ...

Could you handle submitting a PR request?

Do you mean a Pull Request? If yes, of what?

Ubuntu packaging is quite simple by regularly pulling the Github source code with Debian packaging manifest into Bazaar and compiling it. Works automagically with Launchpad.

Requirements:

1. Fork VinceD's current Github namecoin repo
2. Add package manifest skeleton with dh-make
3. Adjust Makefiles (knowledge of code/makefile structure necessary)
4. Send pull request to VinceD

If someone can do this I'd maintain the Ubuntu PPA.

I know it sounds fairly simple, but there is so much on my plate right now that I'm trying to delegate as much as humanly possible.

P.S. github.com/namecoin/namecoin isn't commonly refereed to as VinceD's repo.

Yeah, Vince hasn't been around for years; the namecoin/namecoin repo is maintained by the current dev team (I think most of the recent merges are by domob and phelix).

I would do this, but I have no knowledge of the code structure. I'd probable break more than I'd achieve.

Sorry, I looked at the commit dates of "github.com/namecoin/namecoin" but confused it with "https://github.com/vinced/namecoin".

Well, if it's over your head, it's def. over mine. I will ask around.

You should idle on #namecoin.
