I went ahead and I created a repository that contains an almost-ready package for 2.5.19, using a standard git-buildpackage workflow. See: https://salsa.debian.org/sebastien/free42-nologo Please let me know if you accept to have the next upload based on this work. If you welcome my work, then we need to decide: - what to put in the Maintainer/Uploaders field. My suggestion is to create a team alias on tracker.debian.org that can function as a cheap mailing list (of the form team+pkg-fre...@tracker.debian.org, where "pkg-free42" can be replaced by whatever we want), and use that address in the Maintainer field. Personal adresses would go to the Uploaders field. - where to put the git repository. I suggest the "debian" group on salsa.debian.org, or alternatively a dedicated group on salsa Then a few packaging decisions remain to be taken: - what to do with the old "menu" entry (and the corresponding generated 32x32 pixmap). I suggest to drop it, since it is essentially obsolete. - now that we have two versions of the program (binary vs decimal), I think it would make sense to use the alternatives mechanism to provide a generic /usr/bin/free42 that will point either to free42dec or free42bin (the former being the default, since it is more precise and more faithful to the original HP 42S) - providing a .desktop file (pointing to the generic free42; or alternatively, two desktop files, one for each version) - providing aliases for the manpage so that it works with free42dec as well (and possibly with the free42 generic alternative) Please let me know your thoughts.
