Hi Luke -- are you still working on this? I'd love to help make some progress on this if you're swamped.

There is quite a bit of development going on in the upstream github repository for Debian packaging, see https://github.com/etsy/statsd/tree/master/debian . The package is not perfectly up to Debian's standards, but works quite well and the few remaining issues could easily be fixed. I have CCed the most recent authors in that directory, I think some collaboration between Debian and the upstream repository would help a lot. How can we proceed with this ITP? Can I help in any way? Unfortunately I'm not a DD (just a DM), so I cannot sponsor any work on this package. Bernhard
My apologies, I missed Tom's earlier message. Packaging for statsd has been prepared and is being used internally at my employers' site. I'll look into reconciling that with upstream's packaging in the next week or two. Generally, even when upstream is participating in the packaging process we try to have separate repositories if for no other reason than it makes it easier to transition if upstream's involvement changes.
Hi Luke, do you have any update ? I make a package with the new statsd version. Are you going to upload it? Thanks.
Luke, do you see this email ? I'm needing this package. Maybe i can upload this and then you can help if you want. that sounds good for you? Thanks -- Atte, Facundo Guerrero
