Thanks for the hint. I'm sorry for my poor first try. Please let me start over. The usual description for the RULI package is: RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. It's a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records (RFC 2782). The goal is to promote the wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. The distribution license is GNU GPL. I think the main RULI benefit is the factoring of queries for DNS SRV records in a standards-compliant way. RULI attachs to applications by using the Liboop library (http://liboop.org/) currently available for Debian. I see most applications try to implement their own DNS subsystems which lack adherence to the standards. SIP implementations come to mind. By making RULI available under Debian, I hope to ease the "correct" adoption of SRV records by application developers. Detailed info on RULI can be found on Savannah: http://www.nongnu.org/ruli/ I'm the upstream author of RULI. I have developed my tentative debian packaging by reading the Debian New Maintainers' Guide: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ I'm violating the rules by starting with a library. That's because I could fail to spend enough time/dedication packaging an arbitrary package. However, I'm commited to maintain RULI anyway, so adding the management of the Debian packaging is not a big deal. Other problem so far I am unable to resolve is getting a DD signature to my gpg key. I could not contact DDs in my area (Brazil, Sao Paulo) until now. I have tried to add a signing request under http://nm.debian.org/gpgregister.php, but no luck, my record does not get registered. I have read about a scanned driver license as valid id. Is that currently feasible? The bug report for the RULI package is here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234303 The tentative RULI package files are here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/ruli/ I have also dupload'ed my package to: http://mentors.debian.net/ Any further help is appreciated. -- Everton ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
