Trouble making an ITP

[Marcin M.]

Hi,

I'd like to package (and maintain) a small and old game called Down!, 
written in Ruby/SDL [1]. I sent an ITP using reportbug -B debian wnpp 
(since I'm using Mint 17.2), filled it out. I was to receive a 
confirmation but got no such message.


What could go wrong?

Thanks
Marcin

Now I've got:

   SMTP send failure: (550, 'No valid sender found in the From:,
   Sender: and
   Reply-to: headers'). Do you want to retry (or else save the report
   and exit)?
   [Y|n|q|?]? ?

Can I simply send the generated message via my favorite e-mail client? 
(The maintainer address is different than the address for the mailing list)

A couple a questions regarding the packaging

[Marcin M.]

Hi,

1. There are two repos on GitHub, yhara/down (upstream) and 
marmistrz/down. In marmistrz/down I'll create all the adaptation for 
Debian packaging. In Vcs-Git, should I point to my repo or to the 
upstream one?


2. I have an 256x256 png icon for the game. I noticed that many 
applications ship the icons for multiple sizes. I could batch resize the 
icon to many sizes with `convert`. For which resolutions should I 
resize? Should I put a copy in scalable?


3. In the `debian` folder created by dh_make I noticed a file called 
`menu.ex`. What's the purpose of debian/menu?


Thanks

PS. The sending problem was solved by me by simply running `reportbug 
--configure` and properly configuring it.

Thanks!


Only if you have a vector image.


And for which sizes should I downscale the PNG? Should I do it at all?


3. In the `debian` folder created by dh_make I noticed a file called
`menu.ex`. What's the purpose of debian/menu?

The Debian menu system, used by some old or obscure window managers not
supporting the XDG one.

So I should provide an entry for both /usr/share/menu and 
/usr/share/applications, shouldn't I?


Regards,
