What is involved in maintaining the nuvexport package?

Asked by Chris Ingram

I posted this as a comment to the closed bug 495953, but since the bug is closed, I'm not sure that anyone will ever see it. Therefore, I thought that it might be more appropriate a question since I'm actually asking a question.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the logic here. Nuvexport is part of mythtv, so the latest nuvexport is version 0.22 just like the rest of mythtv. But the version of nuvexport in the current release of Ubuntu is version 0.21. Presumably, someone builds the latest mythtv binaries from source to include in Ubuntu and could just as easily build the latest version of nuvexport the same way. Based on that assumption, I don't understand this statement:

We just don't have the resources to be able to maintain this package among all the others; especially without upstream doing "releases" of nuvexport.

What else is involved in maintaining the nuvexport package other than running "make" from the nuvexport directory in the source tree?
