Hi folks,

This has been here for 2 months. I was wondering if anyone has the
opportunity to look at this. I don't what this to timeout again from
debian-mentors, and have to upload again last time.

I'd appreciate it if someone could look this over and help me finalize it.

Thanks in advance

Is anyone available to help me get this through? Please. I think I have
been pretty patient, up till now. Either no one is interested, or everyone
in the Debian community is extremely busy ;)

Maybe I need to talk to someone directly? or just give up?

I'd rather it not time out of mentors again, forcing me to go through the
whole process again

Thanks for your review, your email somehow turned up in spam

I did run these tests before uploading, but more than happy to run them
again, and will report back

regards,
Arif

Hi,

The name of the package sounds me, so probably I started to look it or
I was interested on review it. Anyway, I will take a look in the
package, but I cannot promise when. But I'll try to do it before DC26
start.
