Welcome to Debian packaging. The first step in getting a package into Debian is to file an ITP against the pseudo-package WNPP that details what you are interested in packaging. This is forwarded to debian-devel and allows experienced developers to comment on possible licensing issues, etc. This is all handled through reportbug. You will then close this bug in your changelog. See http://newpeople.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html for a quick synopsis of the process. As far as your package goes, please make sure that it is lintian clean. lintian currently reports a number of problems with your package: W: jondo source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.8.0) W: jondo source: maintainer-not-full-name Rorschach W: jondo: readme-debian-contains-debmake-template W: jondo: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/pixmaps/jondo.xpm W: jondo: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/java/JAP.jar W: jondo: copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate W: jondo: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly W: jondo: extended-description-line-too-long W: jondo: extended-description-line-too-long W: jondo: extended-description-line-too-long W: jondo: extended-description-line-too-long W: jondo: extended-description-line-too-long W: jondo: new-package-should-close-itp-bug W: jondo: maintainer-not-full-name Rorschach Use lintian -iI to show information tips and get more verbose information on each warning. In general, a lot of the issues are that you haven't cleaned out the cruft from dh_make. For instance, you have an extra (s) in the copyright file, README.Debian is just a template, etc. Cheers, -- Daniel Moerner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
