OK, thanks for point out the typos :) driftnet/0.1.6+cvs20040426-2 uploaded, you can find it at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/driftnet/driftnet_0.1.6+cvs20040426-2.dsc > > My intention is take over the development of driftnet but I tried to > > contact Chris Lightfoot, the upstream author, and I notice that he dead > > some years ago. > > > > About this situation, I have a question: > > If i create a new fork (that i want to develop and maintain), can > > it be uploaded to the debian archive as if it were the original > > driftnet package ? > > I don't have a strong opinion about that, but I think we can follow the > libc example: source package name to be changed to the name of the fork > but binary package name to be the same. I think this too. Because the next mayor change I will implement is to add ipv6 support (currently I have patch for it but Im still testing and working on it) and I dont want to piss off the Chris work, Im thinking about to rename the fork 'drfitnet6'. About that I have a pair of questions: - Can i maintain the current version numbering of the original driftnet package and start working in the fork from it ? - Can debian provide with git repositories in that I can host the package and the upstream code ?
