Re: [cilibrar@cilibrar.com: Bug#425278: ITP: libqsearch -- hierarchical clustering library using quartet tree reconstruction algorithm]
Dear Debian med team and Debian Mentors,
Thanks. I am a little confused about how upstream authors are supposed to
use the mentors archive repository server.
I wanted to avoid mentors uploading because I was under the impression that I
had to sign everything I uploaded to mentors. The reason I did not want to sign
my upload yet is because I am also upstream and
I don't want to release an "official" version 0.9.9 until I get more feedback since
there are big changes and I expect to make some last improvements.
If I need to modify the orig.tar.gz I don't want to make another
version . . . is there any way to upload to mentors without signing the
orig.tar.gz so
that I would not have to commit to the "final" version before getting any feedback
from other devs? I am confused about how our process is supposed to work
optimally in this case. Or am I supposed to just sign everything before even
submitting it for review to a small number of friends? Then does it mean I
have to make a new version number every time I send a version to anybody
that is signed? Am I being logical here or missing something basic?
I have already copied the debs for complear and dsc's etc to my server at [1]
and [2].
I am also Cc'ing the mentors list since Pabs asked for a URL and may be
interested in giving feedback. Thanks for any help,
Rudi
P.S. I added internationalization to complearn in this version and am looking for some help to
make translations for NL, DE, RU, ES, and CN.

Well, to find out this you are best advised to keep the mailing list
debian-med@lists.debian.org CCed in mails like this. IMHO, there is
no real need to look onto your work *before* you upload to mentors -
mentors is just the right place if you want somebody to look onto
your code. So uploading and than posting the location to the mailing
list seems to be the best strategy.

I think we have about three or four potential sponsors reading the
list so your chances are good to find a sponsor.

You are welcome

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
