smb-network package



Hello,

I created a package of smb-network
(http://www.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/smb-network/), a WWW based SMB network
browser. Packages (source and binary) are available at
http://www.solnet.cz/private/marcel/smb-network/. For binary package you
can also add

deb http://www.solnet.cz/private/marcel/debian ./

to your sources.list file. Although the upstream maintainer forgot to
include a license file in the tarball of the latest version, smb-network
is GNU GPL software (I asked the upstream maintainer about it). I am not
a Debian maintainer, but I would be happy to become a Debian maintainer
and maintain smb-network. So I would like to ask if there is anyone who
wants to sponsor me. I have my GPG key already signed by present Debian
maintainer. Unfortunately different key (FFC7E5D4) from that one which
I signed the package with (28E18DE1). Is it enough to sign my 28E18DE1 key
with the FFC7E5D4 one?

Next I have a question about developing. I have defined no dependencies
because I do not know which way is the best to responsibly determine the
dependencies. For example I know smb-network.cgi is written in Perl, but
I do not know which one of the Perl packages should I write into the
Depends item of the package. I also know smb-network needs WWW server and
smbclient, but is there any other way to determine the dependencies than
guessing what everything is required for run of the package?


Regards,

Marcel Kolaja
