Hi,

I'd like to join the pkg-boost team, I can't promise too much help,
but I'd like to help Markus get involved with packaging asio
(currently orphaned).  He has tried uploading to mentors several times:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583862

asio has a close relationship with boost as it can be used standalone
or as an add-on for boost or the built in version with boost

I've also created a git VCS for tracking the asio package, it is
currently under collab-maint but I'd like to move it under pkg-boost
control.  Can one of the pkg-boost admins please enable git through
alioth?

Markus, I'm not sure how far down the process you are, but can you do
the following:

- - if your PGP key is already signed by any DDs, could you send a
signed email to all of us (reply to this email)?

- - if you haven't got any signatures, then I can meet in Zurich or
somewhere else mutually convenient and then I can sign your key, there
are other DDs in Zurich and Winterthur too so you can get signatures

- - could you please request a guest account on alioth:
      https://alioth.debian.org/account/register.php

- - and once you have the guest account, if pkg-boost are keen to have
us join them, you can click here:
https://alioth.debian.org/project/request.php?group_id=30321

and if not, I can send a request to give your account access rights on
collab-maint

- - and joining the pkg-boost mailing list is a separate step:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-boost-devel

- - there is a script here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/asio.git;a=tree;f=debian/scripts;hb=HEAD

that will fetch all 1.4.x releases for import.  I got up to 1.4.3
which requires a manual correction upon merging.  The procedure to
import them:

  mkdir ~/ws/asio-deb
  cd ~/ws/asio-deb
  git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/asio.git
  asio/debian/scripts/downloads.sh
  cd asio
  git-import-orig -u 1.4.3 ../asio_1.4.3.orig.tar.gz
    (... resolve any issue, finish the merge ...)
  git-import-orig -u 1.4.4 ../asio_1.4.4.orig.tar.gz
  ...
  ...

It's better to import the intermediate packages rather than just
importing 1.4.8, because you won't be able to import them easily after
1.4.8

Regards,

Daniel
