I could; however I tried to register a project for it (as well as projects for my other packages: wcslib, cpl, esorex, python-cpl), and I got the reply that I am not allowed since I am not a Debian developer and these packages are not in Debian yet. > http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html > and use one of the debian science VCS (svn or git) > http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-science/ This is a bit confusing: the second URL you mention doesn't forward to a repository (selection) but to the project homepage -- and the project homepage links to the Debian Science homepage which is not really helpful for beginners (at least, I am lost on this page). The science policy shows the repository structure, with a couple of subprojects and "(git?)" suffixes (what do they mean?): debian-science/ +- homepage(.git?) +- packages/ +- bar.git ... where it is unclear for me what should I start to down- or upload. I first tried git clone git+ssh://olebole-gu...@git.debian.org/git/debian-science but then I got Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ole/debian-science/.git/ Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly even with the correct key uploaded. So I feel quite lost in the moment -- is there a step-by-step description on how I (as a newcomer) get the debian/ files of my project into the alioth repository? Another question: The science policy requires that I shall put "debian-science-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org" as the Maintainer and my own name as Uploader. But AFAIK the uploader will be replaced by the Sponsor, so my own contribution authorship is not anymore visible in the final Debian package?
