Looking for package maintainers

[CurlyMo]

One aspect of XBian that people like are our additional packages. However they still (although not much) take time to maintain. So, we are looking for users that want to take that maintenance away from our core developers. This maintainer can take care of either one or more of the following packages:

- Transmission
- NZBget
- Sickbeard
- Headphones
- Couchpotato
- Samba
- Apache
- Development
- TVHeadend
- Kernel*
(If you want to add a new program / daemon, let us know).

Your goal will be:
- keeping these packages up-to-date
- apply interesting patches not in the official packages
- test everything locally to make sure everything works
- add interesting new features / implement nice ideas

Our ideal situation would be if you could also create the deb packages (and that is far easier as it might seem). We partly have automated script for this and a little parts has to be done manually.

And a package maintainer you will get admin access to the specific repository on our git to work in.

I'm ok to work on TVHeadend package. I have to learn : I haven't build any package before.

Do you already have an account on git?

[regisg]

Yes, https://github.com/Proxiweb/

[CurlyMo]

I gave you direct access to https://github.com/xbianonpi/tvheadend

Now your first step is to compile tvheadend so it works on Alpha 5. This step includes:
- Compiling source
- Listing dependencies
- Writing a working init script
- Including GPL headers in all custom scripts
- Including your name in all custom scripts
