2. The upstream tarball is 'nautilus_0.12-beta1-2.tar.gz', and the changelog version in their packaging is '0.12-1ubuntu1'. I changed this to '0.12.beta1.2', but now I realise that it will be detected as an NMU (at least, lintian thinks it is). This was due to a typo in the changelog, silly

Not RFS: febootstrap (ITP #530425)

2009-05-25 Thread Richard W.M. Jones
'febootstrap' is like 'debootstrap', but it bootstraps Fedora root filesystems. It's just a set of shell script wrappers around 'yum/rpm' (also in Debian now), and just like debootstrap it uses fakeroot and fakechroot so you don't need to be root. This isn't (yet) a request for sponsorship.

Hello again, This is the third time I'm writing to debian-mentors. I don't know why nobody replied to my former mails, but maybe I didn't describe the problem good enough, or the answers to my questions where to obvious. At packaging mimelib1 from standalone-source I patched the sources to use
