Dear Debian science team, I'm using Debian now for several years and I also have packaged some programs for myself in a private repository.
Finally i decided to leave my passivity and supporting debian in a more active way. I want to help out packaging parmetis as a start. What I have done so far: - checkout the svn-repository of parmetis - imported it into git (I prefer git over svn) - build the package in a chroot for amd64 and i386 - Added a symbol file for libparmetis4 to get rid of the lintian warning - There is still one lintian warning about hardening, which I don't know how to resolve I have already registered on Alioth. My Alioth account is wlfuetter-guest, and I have just sent a request to join. I read most of the documentation given here: https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging and here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience. But now I'm a little stuck. How should I proceed further? And another question: Is it ok to switch to git for parmetis or should I use svn instead? Best regards Wolfgang P.S. This is my second try.
