Hi kix,
Hi Kilian
Sorry if I've made myself not clear enough as you do not seem to have
gotten
my point. To make an upload of 1.27-30 you have to use the
orig.tar.gz like
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wmmoonclock/wmmoonclock_1.27.orig.tar.gz
which is already in the Debian archive for the last versions.
clear now :-)

ok
I created a new package, but this package do not include the upstream
changelog (the file on the wmmoonclock.docs file) Now this file is
debian/changelog.upstream, but is not in the wmmoonclock.docs file and
the is not included in the package. I think we need to include this
file.

perfect, I will do it.
I think is done. Some days before send the package to mentors I created
two packages, one without patches (patches applied) and other with
patches (unapplied). I wrote to the Author asking about add the patches
to the source in the upstream version, but I didn't get reply. For this
reason I sent the package with patches not applied. The author don't
reply me yet, probably is on vacation

ok++
bonus and extra live ;-)

There is not webserver yet. The info at http://windowmaker.org or
http://windowmaker.info is not updated. The pages will move to a CMS
soon, but there is no tarballs yet. I will update the package if the
tarballs are available. Now the files are only in the GIT.
That's quite sad but in that case the debian/copyright needs to be
updated
too (http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~mgh/WindowMaker/DockApps.shtml is no
longer
valid then). And as a personal preference I'd recommend adding a
get-orig-source target in the meantime which would preferably
reconstruct
some tarball with the contents of the 1.27.orig.tar.gz as is now in
the
Debian archive (if possible).
Ok, what should I do? Update the problems 3-7?
Yes, and reuse the original tarball to provide the next upload to
mentors.d.n (which would make the list 1-7 I guess). ;-)
I didn't do nothing with this part. I took the original tar.gz file
from debian and I made the new package. But what should I do with the
git files? How I should to update the package? why I need to update many
things (DEP-5, DEP-3, ...) in the package if is "lintian clean"? why not
is included in lintian these things?
Anyway, probably I will need to create a new package, because the
problem with the changelog.upstream file, but please, tell me what to do
with the git files and how to update the package.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Best Regards.
kix
Ah! the new package is in mentors ;-)
