Hi Michele!
Some notes :-)
Thank you!
Please reconsider your version numbering: it is better not to use '-'
(dashes) for upstream sources (i.e. distribution-independent ones), but
plain numbers with dots.
For your first two releases, a better versioning would have been:
0.2-0 -> 0.2.0
0.2-1 -> 0.2.1
Yes, I was knowing this, and I will correct. I would like to ask: in
this case the right name would be
sephora_0.2.0-1_all.deb
sephora_0.2.1-1_all.deb
Or, because I am the maintener and the packager of this project, Can I
simply call so ?
sephora_0.2.0_all.deb
sephora_0.2.1_all.deb
(CDBS usually permit to call so if I create with the --native option)
The above can also be read as: whenever you change something in the
upstream code, please bump the version number as well.
Another note: Debian (and derivatives) packages always start from
revision -1, not -0.
Yes, sir :)
And finally, something it should probably have been said before: Debian
packages are not the preferred way to distribute a software, but you
should go for the "canonical" patch, i.e. a tarball compressed with
either gzip or bzip.
And here go out the long story: I really know that .deb is not the best
way to distribute a software.
To say the true I don't respect the GPL term, because with .deb I don't
release the code (ok, everyone can branch a bzr repo).
To be correct I would telease these files:
sephora_0.2.1-1.dsc
sephora_0.2.1-1.tar.gz
sephora_0.2.1-1.orig.tar.gz
I am right?
The problem is: a) this software is project to run only for Debian on
FR. There is no reason because a person of another distro (2008.*, SHR)
should use
sephora. there are better utility to do the same thing that sephora do.
I created sephora only because in Debian @ FR there are no such tool!
I tryed to upload on a Launchpad PPA repository but then I had too many
problems because:
-- I had to change the section from unstable (debian) to intrepid (ubuntu).
--The apt-source list for ppa seem to be not running on deb...@fr (and I
think is normal)
I asked not to open a project, on Alioth, but I don't think it will be
accepted (it is a too much little project).
So, for now, this is the only way I can release :(

Michele Renda
