Where there is no updated package pre-built in debian experimental, what's the process to take upstream code and contribute a proposed package? Also, how can we share this with Debian to reduce duplication?
A good candidate example is dcraw 8.90, since 8.86 has subtly broken colour transformation for some popular SLR cameras, such as the Nikon D90; I realised this after processing too many pictures. This is what I see so far: 1. apt-get source the current version 2. import updated upstream source 3. apply existing debdiff hunks against this 4. add entry to debian/changelog 5. generate updated debdiff After, who do we send the updated debdiff - the package 'maintainer' field? Is the canonical place where this is stored, the archives or where? Any package maintainer or MOTU/ubuntu developer would follow the exact same steps, as someone else or not? Thanks for any feedback on these questions!
