Hey I have made the changes you noted at this new repository;
https://github.com/BeverlyCode/Borg-ER-3
Is this better?
- I have a better makefile!
- I have picked a new icon, and in the res.h file it defines the
ownership/license of the assets.
- LICENSE is updated to "Copyright (c) 2021 James William Fletcher"
rather than VOXDSP (my old company front).
- I have added a release;
https://github.com/BeverlyCode/Borg-ER-3/releases/tag/1.0
- All binary or compilation artifacts have been removed from the source
code repository.
I've recently released this on Flathub so there is a freedesktop xml at;
https://github.com/BeverlyCode/Borg-ER-3/blob/main/flatpak/borg.appdata.xml
with a desktop icon.
Is this better? Is there anything else that I need to do?
Thank you!
James

thanks for your interest in supporting Debian.
i had a quick look at your repositories, and here's just a few
suggestions:
- your makefile seems to be... unconventional (mostly: hardcoding
'gcc' as the compiler; and *install*ing to some directory where nobody
would expect a binary to end up)
- it seems like ths sources for the images encoded in res.h are missing
- i cannot relate the LICENSE to you.
- there are no releases. (or tags.)
Debian is more or less centered around proper upstream releases.
- your git repository contains files like SDL2.dll, borg.exe,
borg.AppImage and borg.deb
you are of course free to put whatever you want into your
repository, but at least for me build artifacts (binaries!) in the
repository are a serious reason to not look much deeper. (otoh, if
there were releases, i wouldn't even (need to) look at the repository;
but if the releases consisted of "source tarballs" where 1/3 of the
files were just binary artifacts created from the remaining files, i
would again lose interest)
