Re: [Debian-med-packaging] Packaging by students
Hello Andreas, Olivier!
Well the main policy differences seem to me (I have two simple packages accepted so far):
* They do not support Debian Maintainer uploads, they do not use the DM-Upload-Allowed field, so getting a package uploaded involves a
particular procedure (you set it to unstable from UNRELEASED, then one of the DD team members has a look and either uploads or comments and sets
back to UNRELEASED).
* They use git exclusively.
* They are sensitive to lintian experimental, info and pedantic tags.
Indeed, it only makes sense to follow both their and our (Med) policy, and be sensitive to lintian tags.
I do not want to have all my students added to the Perl team as well. If the one that gets the NHGRI::Blastall can work with git, I think I will
ask to have him/her added to that team and then that pack can go there. It makes sense, because that is likely to be reused by others. The other
Perl modules are just components of PredictProtein, so I would have those at Debian Med.
Best regards,
Laszlo
