In general, we prefer new packages to go through Debian. But as there's a Feature Freeze looming, that probably couldn't be done in time for precise. So, while I'd still like to see it in Debian, I'm happy to look at uploading it straight to Ubuntu, with the promise that it'll eventually end up in Debian :)
Some review (ok, mostly questions): * Why are we picking some random snapshot, rather than the 0.4.0 stable release? * bzr-builder.manifest? Was this a daily build? * That's a very odd version number for an initial release. Why the epoch? Is that because of upsteram's debs? What verisons are they using? * What is seeks-experimental? * A wrap-and-sort wouldmake the Build-Depends a lot prettier and more manageable * The description ends with a blank line * The description's bullited list only needs to be indented two spaces. * The description has lots of trailing whitespace * It's generally not necessary to talk about being open source in the description. The ubuntu archive is almost entirely open source :) * wishlist: have a look at DEP5, it's a nice machine-readable format for copyright files. * NEWS is empty. Do we really want to include it in the binary packages? * COPYING is redundant, that's what debian/copyright is for. No need to include it in the binary packages. * Deleting users in maintainer scripts is frowned upon, see http://bugs.debian.org/621833 * Why are we skipping dh_auto_test? * Urgh, the init and maintainer scripts mix tabs and spaces. * Note: I also haven't given them (the scripts) a thorough review... * And I haven't reviewed the binaries. For Debian, take ownership of the RFP bug and retitle it to an ITP. Then follow the Mentors process for sponsorship. I'd offer sponsorship, but it's a non-trivial package, so I can't make any guarantees. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#newpackage http://wiki.debian.org/Mentors/BTS ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #621833 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621833 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931606 Title: [needs packaging] Please upload seeks to Ubuntu Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/931606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
