Hi Vitalie, I pick up the sponsoring process.
V> Thank you very much for your help and comments. > libbitfield$SOVERSION (shared library) > libbitfield-dev (development files) V> Done. Package name changed from 'bitfield' to 'libbitfield' and SOVERSION is set V> to 1, so we get: V> libbitfield1 V> libbitfield-dev This looks good now. > If you don't have soversioning in place, then it probably means that your > software is still too volatile for you to think about a stable ABI / API. If > that's the case, then it is not a good candidate for packaging in Debian just yet. V> Done. SO-versioning (and versioning policy in general) has been set. ABI /API V> has been stabilized. Version (1.0.0) has been released. That's also OK now. Some further problems with the packaging: - The link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbitfield.so should go to the libbitfield-dev package. - A shared library should have a debian/<package.>.symbols file (see man dpkg-gensymbols). - The standards version should be updated to 4.0.0 - The files README.{Debian,source} do not provide any real info. They should be dropped until they contain something useful. - Please also remove the unrelated comments at the end of debian/rules and the comments after the DH_VERBOSE line at the beginning. - The files debian/*.dirs are unnecessary . Please remove. Please fix your package and ping me when done, so I can recheck. Cheers, Roland
