Hi Andreas, hi all! I've managed to get the packaging process to work on my own system using either debuild or gbp, working from cimg's alioth repository as an example. So now I have created a repository on alioth with the code and a debian folder containing the packaging information here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/vspline.git/ I also filed an ITP bug stating my readiness to do the packaging: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867382 I reiterate this here to help interested parties find follow-up information to this thread. I stated in the ITP bug that I am looking for a mentor/sponsor - it seems to me now that one can just use a combined ITP/RFS heading, but I used the plain ITP. Should I file a separate RFS bug? When I uploaded my code to alioth, it had my whole development history attached, since I pulled my own repository into the working checkout on my machine and then pushed to alioth. This produced quite a few automatic commit messages, I hope this is not a problem. Hopefully getting beyond the teething stage... Thanks again for the help so far With regards Kay F. Jahnke
