Comments

  1. Thank you for the comments Marc Leeman and Phil Wyett. 

I deleted the old package as I thought it was preventing me from uploading a new one. However, given it has removed the previous I think I didn't have to.


I have addressed your comments and most of the warnings in QA information. 

I had raised a request for sponsorship under the name "dpkg-buildenv" but the feedback suggested I rename the tool. I could raise another request under the name debpic?

  2. Hi Aidan,

1. Your package version in the 'debian/changelog' needs a '-1' i.e. 1.0.0-1. This shows it is the first package revision of 1.0.0 into Debian.

2. You need to submit an Intent To Package (ITP) bug. See link below.

https://wiki.debian.org/ITP

For examples of ITP bugs see one of many current ones via the link below.

https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/prospective

3. You need to submit a Request For Sponsorship (RFS) bug. See link below.

https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto/

I will go into other things you need to do, once the above have been addressed.

Regards

Phil

  3. Hi,

All ITP and RFS should be under the package name 'debpic'.

  4. Hi,

You can wait before doing '3' and submitting an RFS. Let's get the package into shape and then that can be done.

Regards

Phil

  6. Regarding bumping the version to 1.0.0-1:

This is a native package therefore this is not possible. When I change the version to 1.0.0-1 then dpkg-buildpackage complains with the following

"
...
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (native)': native package version may not have a revision
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b . subprocess returned exit status 255
"

  7. Hi,

This package should I feel be 'quilt' rather than 'native', it would be more manageable as such.

  8. Hi Phil,

Thanks for the suggestion. 

From https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch05.en.html#native
"It [native] may be used only when the package is useful and valuable only for Debian."

debpic builds debian packages and is only valuable for Debian. See below a list of similar debian build tools that use native:

* dpkg-buildpackage
https://salsa.debian.org/dpkg-team/dpkg/-/blob/main/debian/source/format?ref_type=heads

* sbuild
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sbuild/-/blob/main/debian/source/format?ref_type=heads

* whalebuilder

  9. Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to get this package into Debian.
