There are no real strict rules. However, you probably shouldn't upload something to Debian if the software isn't of sufficient quality, or if it wouldn't fit in a stable release. A good indicator is if someone else requested the software to be included in Debian. It shows that you are not the only one interested in it, at least. - Lucas _______________________________________________ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers
