Hi, I'm interested in packaging barry for inclusion in Ubuntu, and I am aware that there is also a package maintainer that may package barry for inclusion in Debian. However, we have a small problem: the source tarball unfortunately does not follow some of the guidelines that would help making it easier to package it, by separating the packaging "fluff" from the actual software. Also, at least in the guidelines of Ubuntu, it would be preferable if the package could be in tar.gz format.
Would it be possible to post to the sourceforge files a new source tarball that would only contain the program and none of the debian/ directory used for packaging? That would help me a great deal... Obviously, I would still need the stuff debian/... That should be kept in a separate diff.gz file. Doing this upstream would allow barry to be packaged for Debian and Ubuntu and probably other distros without each one having a separate recipe for converting tarballs and always keeping the upstream source intact. :) I'm sorry, I hate to be demanding things, barry is a great package that's already really high quality!
