Sounds good. I just added gert-guest to the Debian Med project to enable commit permissions. Note: I also found gerddie-guest Gert Wollny on Alioth - perhaps an old yccount you might have forgot. It might be a good idea to ask Alioth admins for deleting this (admittedly I have no idea about the account administration on Alioth.) Please make sure you read the "SSH tips" in our Debian Med team policy: http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html#ssh-tips and specifically the link to the Wiki article. > ----- > Now for some questions: > - should I make an ITP bug for each package, or is it better to > group the ITPs for packages that are closely related. i.e. There is a 1:1 relation between ITP and package. The reason is simple: If you upload the package the bug is closed - so with the first upload there would be no remaining bug to close for the other packages. > vistaio - required for all other packages > mia + pymia + viewitgui (mia is required by the other two) > mialm + mialmpick - (mialm is requiered by mialmpick) > > - anybody has used the git-bzr-ng tool to bridge between bazaar > (Ubuntu packaging repro) and git (debian-med)? > https://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng the thing is it hasent seen a > stable release yet.

It depends. Alternatively you might consider creating more than one binary package. It helps to decide if you answer the question whether it might make any sense to install a single library without all the others - in this case I'd vote for single binaries. Otherwise a lintian override might make sense. > The libmia-doc created by Doxygen contains a "jquery.js" > (embedded-javascript-library).

If the source code contains some compressed JavaScript people do consider this as "binary without source" which in turn deserves a RC bug (or ftpmaster will reject the initial upload). Are you really sure that doxygen created jquery functions are not properly rendered with Debian's packages jquery? > mia-viewitgui and mialmpick: > > binary-without-manpage - what kind of man page is common for GUI > programs (apart from possible command line options)? > IMHO a man page should be helpful, but a GUI program will probably > fare better with a graphical tutorial, especially since specifying > comand line options is not really needed. Usually some basic manpage is fine. In many cases it is easily possible to genereate a manpage using help2man.
