I've uploaded a premake4 source package to mentors: http://mentors.debian.net/package/premake4 Before I try looking for sponsors I thought I'd check here to see if anyone could take a quick look and let me know if I've made any silly mistakes. I initially created and tested the source package on

Hi Cameron, First of all, thanks for volunteering to package and maintain premake4! One of my packages (0ad) actually uses an embedded copy of premake, which I would like to switch to using a system version if possible, but of course premake4 isn't yet available in Debian... Just to address some

Hello, I think you somehow need to use "update-alternatives" to symlink "premake4" to "premake". I think this is what should be done, so wait for someone to agree/disagree ;) Some examples of this that I can think of are valac and possibly python.

I have contacted the current maintainer and they're OK with me adopting the package. Does the current maintainer need to Orphan/RTA the package first or can I just file a new ITA bug? I've been looking at various wiki pages and existing ITA bugs but they're generally renaming an existing O or RTA
