Thanks for responding. This is the first software I have ever submitted for Debian, so please forgive any amateur misunderstandings regarding the process. - The email (below) which retitles the software notes "stopping processing here". Should I attempt to repackage papershaper as a .deb or is the .git sufficient? I have never compiled a .deb before. - The entire install "process" is to * place the contents into a folder called ~/com.pkcarlisle/papershaper in the user home directory. There are no additions to or changes to system level files * check for and/or resolve dependencies for Python 3 and lynx * (optionally) add a start up command as python3 ~/com.pkcarlisle/papershaper/papershaper.py If the wishlist is waiting for me to compile papershaper into a .deb I can give it a try, but I do not want the wishlist to be waiting for something and for me not to know about the next steps.

Thanks for responding. If I understand the definitions correctly, I should resubmit this as an RFP since it has never been included in a Debian (or other Linux) release? Being kind of careful about the definition of a package here... The software is here as a git https://github.com/pkcarlislellc/git-papershaper here as a tarball: https://sourceforge.net/projects/papershaper/ It is open source licensed, and does not download anything as part of the install process. It has two dependencies: Python and the lynx browser. Python 2 and 3 versions are included in the tarball but it is presumed that the preferred Python version is now Python 3, so that is the default. It does optionally download images, but only on execution.

You created an itp so an intent to package. If not willing to propose a apckage should be an rfp request for package. Ideally you package your app and propose it for review and upload. Requirements are an open source license and package install should not download anything. Only its execution can download remote stuff. Olivier
