Hi, have you tried http://mentors.debian.net ? You can read about it at
http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers :)
I forgot the actual procedure, I'm not sure if mentors.debian.net is still
used to promote and approve and sponsor new debian packages.
But you should contact the python apps team
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "drwright".
* Package name : drwright
Version : 3.5.0-1
Upstream Author :
* URL : http://git.gnome.org/browse/drwright and
http://live.gnome.org/drwright
* License : GPL-2.0+
Section : gnome
Description: Typing monitor to force typing breaks
I would do what Kartik said, file a bug upstream and wait for them to make
a proper tarball. It will be useful for other distributions as well, not
just Debian.

Thanks, I'll try and expand the description this weekend. If I don't get an
ispiration I'll ask from the good folks of l10n. :)
ge, please visit the following

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Looking at http://wiki.debian.org/Mentors/BTS I see we need to "tag" the
new packages with [NEW]. I've seen some bugs with [ITP], so which one
should we use, [NEW] or [ITP]?

If I were you, I'd just convert the .doc to a .pdf. Likewise, your
programmer can do that in seconds with a
plugin<
1. If I have an already open bug in wnpp, do I close it or merge it with
the one in s-r (=sponsorship-requests)?
2. If I have a package uploaded, which bug should I mention in
debian/changelog? wnpp and/or s-r?

Is it active and the preferred way now? So as of now, we should file a bug
with sponsorship-requests instead of sending an email directly to
debian-mentors list?
Thanks for the pointer. I never tried the second way I mentioned, but I saw
that it is possible (the tutorial is old though):

Well, you basically have three ways (that I know of):
1. checkinstall - In my opinion as an amateur packager, it is by far the
easiest solution. Maybe others disagree, I'd suggest it for trivial binary
packages.
2. a dirty way of doing it, creating your own package using the "ar"
command (a .deb p

Have you tried with the checkinstall command?
P.S. I believe that Debian supports and helps with packaging open source
software, not closed source and proprietary software.

Thank you, but Michael Biebl informed me about that:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=654970
I have changed the description to some

Um.. I'm pro free speech and all, but is the programmer (and the
maintainer for that matter) allowed to use "vodafone" in a product and
avoid copyright issues? Unless it is acknowledged by vodafone that is.
