debian has several distributions, experimental is where you upload stuff that can be as buggy as you want, upload new incompatible libraries, and stuff like that. unstable is the distribution where the actual development happens, stuff migrates from there to the "testing" distribution after a number of days (default 5) if no grave (RC, means severity serious, grave, criticla) bugs are found in the meantime. Testing gets freezed before the release and will eventually become the next stable. See https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch04.en.html#s4.6.4 for more information. BTW, I would expect a maintainer, or anybody involved in Debian FWIW, to know this, which is kinda the base of how the Debian development works. > > * Vcs-* are 404 > Changed to alioth ones.

Fixed. bugs should reach you by email as soon as they are filed, weird. Anyway, I saw the patches use the "Bug" header, but DEP-3 says Bug is used for *upstream* bugs. you should use Bug-Debian instead, and use a full link (e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/nnnnnn). See http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ once it'll be back for more info. > New version of 0.2-3 is on mentors. maybe also figure out what you'd like to do with experimental/unstable? A main difference between the two is that if you keep uploading to experimental the package will never be part of a Debian release, which means something. And, if you lack knowledge of how debian works, please consider reading the devref (the document linked above) fully, it's kinda interesting for somebody doing debian work :) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: http://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
