Hey,
I totally agree with making the start in Debian simpler.
The Debian policy document is thick and very general.
I much prefer to have focused recipes for the tasks at hand. On these

Thanks for the pointer to this. i have looked at all those the sources

I agree, it is sometimes difficult to get someone to actually upload
your package.
Perhaps to encourage mentors, they too could get accomplishments for
sponsoring packages. There could even be a small prize for the DD who

Hi there,
I think this is a worthwhile idea, but would like to suggest that if
you're going to go down the approach of badges/accomplishments then it
would be good to consider how to encourage existing DDs to become
active in mentoring.
My experience is that making the package is the easy bit - t

Hi mentors,
I'm in the process of preparing new packaging for GNS3.
Currently source package gns3 produces one binary package also named
gns3. The newer version of the software has been split into a separate
gui/server (separate source packages).
For the new packaging I prose the following:
