Hi, Nico! I looked at your tarfile, but the diff could not be found. Do you offer your package on any website of yours already? I'd say do so and find users and friends of your program and go ahead with it. The files in your tar file look nice and you seem to try to do proper work. There are means to make your apt-get'table program available to users on registers of unofficial apt-get sites. I can't give you details, don't know them - my net connection is not good. You might think of developing your source code further, eg. make use of preprocessor constants for the program defaults of the configuration variables. You found packaging manual and other documentation already? Search the websites, google, _*the pkg-archive*_ - may the source be with you :-) Try the mailing list archives on www.d.o and elsewhere, reading in debian-devel can enhance your english vocabulary incredibly and together with -mentors teach you lots about the 'unwritten' procedures and measures towards quality. Personally i would not choose to keep your package installed. There may be more users of Debian underneath their desktop, that might want such a toy in their 'panel', as KDE calls it; i'd then look over your package again, given that we had a toys section in the archive by then. Debian developers like anybody who is going to help with any of the workareas for them to improve and KDE, for instance, really has some source code to show. ;) However you gain the experience, i hope that you staying with Debian will be enyoing and enlightening for you, the community and Debian developers. Have a nice day, martin - the expressed opinion is my own at Sun Feb 22 02:04:26 CET 2004 G.Marx - These are my opinions. If you don't like them, i have others.
