upstream author == debian maintainer
While waiting to become a debian maintainer, I am trying to
"polish" my package(s), and I have a few questions:
1) I am the author of program I am packaging. To save myself
some work, I have packaged it as a native debian package. Is this
allowed? (There was some discussion about it a long time ago,
and it seemed possible to do so)
2) Since debian/changelog and CHANGES are the same (obviously), I
could symlink one file to another. Which way it is better?
CHANGES -> debian/changelog or debian/changelog -> CHANGES ?
Or should I keep debian/changelog just a description of changes made to
package (such as recompiling against newer glibc), and CHANGES for
everything else?
3) I am using debhelper. When it is updated to FHS, will it automatically
move document and manpages to /usr/share? (I think so... just asking to be
sure)
The package I am talking about can be found at:
http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/efingerd.html
(I have more packages prepared, but this one is "well tested"(tm) )
thanks,
