Hi David, It is a bad practice to ship a debian folder upstream. I would advice you to at least rename it as something like "debian-upstream", so that it doesn't conflict with the debian folder that will be worked on by the maintainer of the package. Now, a few remarks about your packaging. 1/ If you want to have your package in Debian, please clean the debian/changelog, and write a single entry: * Intial release (Closes: #XXXXXX) with XXXXXX the number of the ITP (Intention To Package) bug number (you can open such a bug using "reportbug -b wnpp"). 2/ There's no need to use debian/compat level 7 anymore. Increase this to 9, as well as debhelper build-depends. 3/ Standards-Version: is now 3.9.5, fix that. 4/ Please rewrite your debian/copyright file in DEP5 format: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ 5/ The debian/libonion-dev.dirs is useless, remove it. Same for debian/libonion.dirs 6/ The files usr/bin/interactive, usr/bin/fileserver, usr/bin/crl have a way too much generic names, and may conflicts with other packages. Please rename them (and possibly other files too). 7/ Switch to 3.0 (quilt) format for your debian source. To do so: mkdir debian/source echo "3.0 (quilt)" >debian/source/format 8/ Remove the comments in debian/rules, these are useless. 9/ Remove debian/README, there's nothing interesting there. Same with README.source. There's a Homepage: field for this. 10/ Vcs-Git: and Vcs-Browser: are fields for the *packaging* urls, not for your upstream source code. 11/ libonion-dev should depend on libonion (= ${binary:Version} 12/ libonion should be rename with as the soname. For example: libonion2 13/ libonion should use ${shlibs:Depends}, therefore there's no reason that you even manually write the dependencies. If you correct the above, I may sponsor your package upload in Debian. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
