Thanks for responding. This is the first software I have ever submitted for Debian, so please forgive any amateur misunderstandings regarding the process.
- The email (below) which retitles the software notes "stopping processing here". Should I attempt to repackage papershaper as a .deb or is the .git sufficient? I have never compiled a .deb before. - The entire install "process" is to * place the contents into a folder called ~/com.pkcarlisle/papershaper in the user home directory. There are no additions to or changes to system level files * check for and/or resolve dependencies for Python 3 and lynx * (optionally) add a start up command as python3 ~/com.pkcarlisle/papershaper/papershaper.py If the wishlist is waiting for me to compile papershaper into a .deb I can give it a try, but I do not want the wishlist to be waiting for something and for me not to know about the next steps.
