</span>I think there are a few people willing to help (I always have been). The<br>
roadblock generally has been not knowing the exact steps to take to make<br>
the packaging work.<br>
<br>
In this case I think there might be a clear path now. For things coming<br>
from DebianGIS there should be some simple steps/commands that can be<br>
written out and following. If it fails or the update is coming from some<br>
other route then we file tickets and leave that to the current<br>
professionals who have mastered the voodoo.<br>
<br>
If someone can start up instructions I am willing to test and contribute<br>
time to maintaining some packages.<br>
<br>
Example, I would love to get QGIS 2.8.7 into stable.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
