  1. Is the message "Package uploaded for the UNRELEASED distribution" normal for a repack?
    Mikhail Medvedev at April 24, 2026, 1:41 p.m. 
  2. Need unstable:

  4. /usr/share/doc/imsprog/html/index.html contains embedded images <img src=data:image/png;base64...

Maybe it would be better to put images? Replaces <img src=data:image/png;base64... -> <img src=dch341_black150.png"


Maybe add package imsprog-doc?

  5. Hi, Alexander! The ‘man’ files in IMSProg link to this HTML file. Can I simply add the images to the project and remove the base64-encoded images from index.html?

Yes, of course.

  7. I’m new to building software. I have lots of questions about my packages. Could you message me on Telegram at @bigmdm?

  9. Hello, Aleksander!
Let’s take a short break. I’d like to address all your comments regarding the bugs. In addition, there are a few minor flaws and areas in the source code that need refinement. So I’ll fix everything and release version 1.8.4, if you have no objections.
    Mikhail Medvedev at April 30, 2026, 4:16 p.m. 
  10. Could you also let me know whether the presence of the imsprog.spec file (for building on Fedora and Red Hat) in the root directory would conflict with Debian's requirements?
    Mikhail Medvedev at April 30, 2026, 4:19 p.m. 
  11. .spec file shouldn't be a problem.

I'll tell you right away, add a line like this to debian/changelog:

* New upstream version.
* Set Vcs-Browser (Closes: #1127943)

  1. Bug#1134155: Acknowledgement (RFS: imsprog/1.8.3-1 -- Linux chip programmer for CH341A/CH347T devices)

  2. I'm so sorry, but are theres files really necessary for BUILDING (~10 MB)?
/imsprog-1.8.3/img/IMSProg_1_0_24.mp4
/imsprog-1.8.3/img/*.psd

If not, then I suggest you add to debian/copyright:
Files-Excluded:
 /img/*.psd
 /img/*.mp4

And version 1.8.3+ds-1 or 1.8.3+repack-1
    Alexander Ermakov at April 23, 2026, 8:17 a.m. 
  3. Yes, you’re absolutely right!
    Mikhail Medvedev at April 23, 2026, 9:28 a.m. 
  4. Alexander, help me, please:
1. I created and pushed a new tag 1.8.3+repack-1
2. I used in main branch `gbp import-ref -u1.8.3+repack-1`
3. And pushed the changes.

The gbp buildpackage --git-builder='debuild -d -S -sa' command returned the message "gbp:error: v1.8.3+repack is not a valid treeish".
What did I do wrong?
    Mikhail Medvedev at April 23, 2026, 10:11 a.m. 
  5. I don't think there was any need to create a new tag v1.8.3+repack-1 in git. It is enough to change the version in the d/changelog:

imsprog (1.8.3+ds-1) unstable; urgency=medium

And in debian/copyright:
