Hi, I have developed some new software, an audioscrobbler client for last.fm, which I would like to see included, probably under Multimedia. It consists of two simple C source files - how do I go about getting it included in Debian? Cheers, David. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://dmct

Removing and replacing a binary package with a new source package?

I'm planning to remove ifp-line from the archive now that libifp (and its ifp-line-equivalent) is mature and tested. Right now, the ifp-line source package generates an ifp-line binary package, and the libifp source package generates an ifp-line-libifp package (that Provides: ifp-line). What's the

New source package uploads to `unstable' allowed

You may now upload packages in the new source format to `unstable'. Packages in `stable' will continue to be in the old format. Note that the caveats in my release announcement on debian-changes for 1.3.8 apply: * The new source tools have not been very well tested and will have bugs, some prob

I'd like people to take a look at what I've done here. The dpkg 1.3.0 binary package is fine to install and use (and indeed, it fixes a bug or two), but the whole thing ought not to be moved even into unstable until we've finalised the new source package format. The new dpkg con
