About this situation, I have a question: If i create a new fork (that i want to develop and maintain), can it be uploaded to the debian archive as if it were the original driftnet package ? I don't have a strong opinion about that, but I think we can follow the libc example: source package name to be changed to the name of the fork but binary package name to be the same. This was the question for the future, for now I can upload your currently proposed changes. Note, if you choose me as sponsor, I require bumping Debian revision after each package review (if there any changes, of course). Ok, the next upload that fixes the two points discused above will be driftnet/0.1.6+cvs20040426-2. Good. Another point which I now noticed is that you want to lowercase the short description: s/Picks out/picks out/. So, please fix that, add Vcs-* headers, fix changelog corrections above and I'll upload the package. -- Eugene V.

Hi eugene, Good. Another point which I now noticed is that you want to lowercase the short description: s/Picks out/picks out/. So, please fix that, add Vcs-* headers, fix changelog corrections above and I'll upload the package. OK, thanks for point out the typos :) driftnet/0.1.6+cvs20040426-2 uploaded, you can find it at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/driftnet/driftnet_0.1.6+cvs20040426-2.dsc My intention is take over the development of driftnet but I tried to contact Chris Lightfoot, the upstream author, and I notice that he dead some years ago. About this situation, I have a question: If i create a new fork (that i want to develop and maintain), can it be uploaded to the debian archive as if it were the original driftnet package ? I don't have a strong opinion about that, but I think we can follow the libc example: source package name to be changed to the name of the fork but binary package name to be the same. I think this too. Because the next mayor change I will implement is to add ipv6 support (currently I have patch for it but Im still testing and working on it) and I dont want to piss off the Chris work, Im thinking about to rename the fork 'drfitnet6'. About that I have a pair of questions: - Can i maintain the current version numbering of the original driftnet package and start working in the fork from it ? - Can debian provide with git repositories in that I can host the package and the upstream code ?

Think of it as you'd prepare a new version for official Debian archive. My view is 'don't ever rewrite the history, except of fixing non-normative things like indentation or typos or grammar fixes'. Note, again, above are my preferences, other people may prefer other schemes. Secondly, Vcs-* should point to your packaging (Git, as I understood) repository, not upstream. Or is your packaging repository not public? Then don't add any Vcs-* fields for now. Since you uploaded -2 already, I now want -3. Leave your original -1 changes (only apply grammar fixes to them) under -1, make new -3 changelog entry, and document all your changes which you made after my review in it (probably it'd nice to mention that you applied some fixes to the previous changelog entry). Because the next mayor change I will implement is to add ipv6 support (currently I have patch for it but Im still testing and working on it) and I dont want to piss off the Chris work, Im thinking about to rename the fork 'drfitnet6'. About that I have a pair of questions: - Can i maintain the current version numbering of the original driftnet package and start working in the fork from it ? This is not for Debian or me to decide, but I personally think you can use whatever version scheme you want. - Can debian provide with git repositories in that I can host the package and the upstream code ? Since upcoming upstream code is not specific to Debian, I'd maintain it at some neutral shared service, such as Github or Bitbucket. As for Debian packaging, you can use Alioth [1], or alternatively just keep it at the same service where upstream code will be located. [1] http://alioth.debian.org/ -- Eugene V.

Hi, Secondly, Vcs-* should point to your packaging (Git, as I understood) repository, not upstream. Or is your packaging repository not public? Then don't add any Vcs-* fields for now. At the moment is not hosted nor public. When I will fork upstream I publish it in allioth or github, probably next release. So they gets removed, for now. Since you uploaded -2 already, I now want -3. Leave your original -1 changes (only apply grammar fixes to them) under -1, make new -3 changelog entry, and document all your changes which you made after my review in it (probably it'd nice to mention that you applied some fixes to the previous changelog entry). And whats for the -2 entry ? Regards, David Suarez -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Two questions: 1) Where is the Git repository which is mentioned a couple of times in your packaging? You probably want to to add Vcs-* headers to debian/control. 2) The package looks very old. Are you new upstream for it? Or did you find some newer fork which will use as base? Or do you intend just to maintain latest upstream CVS snapshot?

Hi Eugene. Your changes look fine as for me (module corrections above, s/hidding/hiding/, s/especified/specified/, s/non-working/to work/). Sorry, Im not English native. Two questions: 1) Where is the Git repository which is mentioned a couple of times in your packaging? You probably want to to add Vcs-* headers to debian/control. I point to it in the debian/copyright file, I was unaware about Vcs-* headers in the control file. 2) The package looks very old. Are you new upstream for it? Or did you find some newer fork which will use as base? Or do you intend just to maintain latest upstream CVS snapshot? My intention is take over the development of driftnet but I tried to contact Chris Lightfoot, the upstream author, and I notice that he dead some years ago. About this situation, I have a question: If i create a new fork (that i want to develop and maintain), can it be uploaded to the debian archive as if it were the original driftnet package ?
