First step: submit a Request For Package bug report against the special “wnpp” package <URL:https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/>. It is highly recommended to di this with the ‘reportbug’ tool:: $ reportbug --mua mutt --severity wishlist wnpp because it will prompt you for what kind of WNPP bug report this is (answer: RFP), and then present a template for you to provide information about the prospective package. > It seems to clash with a package of the same name There are means of dealing with this: using a more specific name for the source package, renaming the resulting binary package and library, etc. But this is best done after submitting the RFP bug report and finding an interested Debian maintainer for the package. -- \ “… Nature … is seen to do all things Herself and through | `\ herself of own accord, rid of all gods.” —Titus Lucretius | _o__) Carus, c. 40 BCE | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
