I think it is close but there are a couple of other random thing: - The list of acceptable categories comes from the http://cygwin.com/setup.html, not from Debian. Adding a new package requires discussion here first. - Rather than saying "please avoid the package name", please make it an imperative like "Do not use the package name". - Should the "Do you have time to maintain the package?" question be the very first question? - I wonder if a summary detailing how a package gets accepted would be useful just for reiteration: 1) Build the package and make sure that you have time to maintain it. 2) Send an ITP to the cygwin mailing list. If the package is part of a distribution, include the URL which demonstrates this. Include a setup.hint. 3) If you have received the correct number of votes or if the package is part of a distribution, include URL(s) for the package binary and source so that someone can download them to check the package for any obvious problems. 4) Once you get a GTG from a package maintainer, send a "Please upload" to the cygwin-apps mailing list. 5) When you get the "uploaded" confirmation, send an immediate note to cygwin-announce. Other than that this is nearly GTG, I think. cgf
