-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Christoph and Debian mentors,
How do I make sure my packages are considered as non-native ? Should I remove the "Source" entry in the debian/control file, or set it to a different value? Right now, I set it to the same name as the package. It might be wrong. I started from a template for Python projects a friend gave me which contains only 3 files : * debian/control * debian/rules * debian/changelog I think I should start by packaging properly only one project, and do the other ones once I am sure everything is OK. Since "toonloop" depends on "python-pygame" 1.9 (which I might end up maintaining too), I should start with something else, like python-portmidi, python-purity or lunch. I will get back to you with my choice shortly. Other question : How do I make sure there are no .hg files in the diff? I should "export" the sources from the revision control system first ? Thank you.
