Moving package to non-free

2003-11-18 Thread Mika Fischer
Hi! In order to get rid of the RC bug #174456 I intend to move the celestia packages to contrib (programs) and non-free (data). The question is how do I do that? a) File a bug on ftp.debian.org requesting the move. b) Upload a new version with the section set to non-free/foo. Or c) both (in what o

kernel-patch-2.4-supermount-ng up for review

2003-07-02 Thread Mika Fischer
Hi! I'm already a developer but I've never packaged a kernel-patch before. So I would be grateful if someone could take a look at the package at: http://people.debian.org/~mf/kernel-patch-2.4-supermount-ng/ and check if there's something obviously wrong about it, or even better test it :) Thanks

Hi, all! I've packaged vfu. The source and i386 packages are already uploaded. Now I was wondering how the binary packages for the other architectures are created. Do I have to: - Wait because it's done automatically (if yes, why am I actually uploading i386-binaries?) - Find someone who doe
