Hi,
I can not find package soundgrab (http://rawrec.sourceforge.net/soundgrab/) in Debian repository. It is a perl script which allows the user to interactively select and save their favorite portions of a long volume of raw audio data.
Im a beginner in Linux + Debian, what can I do for putting this package to Deb-rep?

I have been surprised, that this package is in Ubuntu repository and isnt in Debians one! I dont understand, how Ubuntu and Debian cooperate, but I would like to grasp it ...
thx for every explanation,
hail Debian for ever Smile
Jirka H.

Have you tried clicking the link on the web page that says 'Debian users
can get the debian package from the usual place' which shows that the
package is in stable so you can add stable repositories to your
sources.lst and apt-get it from there or just download the deb file and
install with 'dpkg -i /path/to/deb'.

You *can* also use ubuntu sources in debian but this is not advised as
there can be conflicts. I have done this in the past for single
packages and use apt pinning to ensure packages are not upgraded to
ubuntu versions. You can also use the dpkg -i route on the deb from
ubuntu repository.

It was removed from testing and unstable after being orphaned for more
than a year. Nobody seems to be willing to adopt it as a new maintainer
and then re-introduce it to unstable:

Hi Florian,

this is curious if I understand the situation:
this packages is being maintained in Ubuntu and is abandoned in Debian.
It would seem thatbarring DFSG issues) the Ubuntu maintainer should be
told about the situation and asked to help maintian both as it should
not be too much more work, IIUC. Situations like this should not be
allowed to happen as Ubuntu developers should be notified that the
Debian package has been orphaned and it would be good for Ubuntu-Debian
relations to keep packages from diverging from Debian which is supposed
to be upstream barring any major issues.
cheers,
Kev
