This is the primary source of information for new packagers: http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers This is short and important: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/ Longer, but a necessary reference: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ Emmanuel Bourg wrote some introductionary notes for debian-java which I consider to be helpful: http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2013/04/msg00134.html If you are at home in git (instead of svn), then this page helps you convert the debian package files to git: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/JavaGit#Converting_an_SVN_repository_to_Git otherwise you need svn-buildpackage: http://svn-bp.alioth.debian.org/ Best Regards, -- Felix Natter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
