Actually, I am new to packaging in Debian. I read the New Maintainer's guide
and created 2 .deb
packages (i386 & amd64). I have put them here @ SF.net for local download by
general users, not in a
proper apt repository. All the control files, rules, etc. are in my system,
locally. They are not in
any version controlled area. As per the Debian docs, I have filed a ITP bug. I
encountered this site
mentors.debian.net, where its says new packages needing sponsors are to be
uploaded. Now, should I
upload my packages there and get them sponsored first? Or should I first check
in the control files in
the location you pointed me to. If so, how will I get the credintials to login.
Well, there is no *requirement* to use the SVN repository but it turned out
to be quite reasonable. So I would recommend to do so - but finally it is
your choice. You have to ask on alioth.debian.org for a guest account and
once you got this you can ask for adding you to the debian-science group
which automatically grants you write permission to the Debian Science SVN.
If this is a to complicated procedure for you for the moment just point
me to the *.dsc file on mentors once you uploaded it and I might inject it
into Debian Science SVN (if you agree in principle).
Kind regards
Andreas.
