On http://mentors.debian.net/sponsors there are a some useful hints, how to get a sponsor for your package. As I told before, I'm not a DD, but I have some basic hints regarding your package: 1. Make it linitan clean https://mentors.debian.net/package/exposong lists a lot of lintian warning. You really should take care about those. 2. Always use newest Standards-Version We are currently at 3.9.4 - you can find a checklist for upgrading your package at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist 3. Add Vcs fields I suppose your packaging is under version control at http://code.google.com/p/exposong/. You should therefore add the fields Vcs-hg and Vcs-Browser to debian/control - further details: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-vcs 4. Drop out old changelog entries I suppose exposong never was in Debian before. Therefore your newest version would be the "Initial Release" and debian/changelog should represent that. Also note that you do not need to increase the version for each upload on mentors.debian.net. 5. Is your package really native? I doubt your package is native - please have a look at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What_is_the_difference_between_a_native_Debian_package_and_a_non-native_package.3F > Thanks > Samuel Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
