Hello Martin, * Martin Albert <MartinAlbert@gmx.net> [2004-02-22 12:35]: > I looked at your tarfile, but the diff could not be found. the diff was totally broken so i copied the upstream source in another directory with the debian directory and build it. then there was no other diff file :( > Do you offer your package on any website of yours already? http://www.ngolde.de/binclock > lI'd say do so > and find users and friends of your program and go ahead with it. there are already friends and users of this program. > The > files in your tar file look nice and you seem to try to do proper > work. thank you very mouch. > There are means to make your apt-get'table program available to users > on > registers of unofficial apt-get sites. I can't give you details, don't > know them - my net connection is not good. i think the most users use official debian mirrors? > You might think of developing your source code further, eg. make use > of > preprocessor constants for the program defaults of the configuration > variables. yes, that is a good idea, i'll think about it. > You found packaging manual and other documentation already? for packaging debian packages? yes, i read the debian new maintainers guide, the policy, a few tutorials and the important parts of the developers reference to pack the program. was it that what you mean or have i misunderstood you? > Search the > websites, google, _*the pkg-archive*_ - may the source be with you :-) :) > Try the mailing list archives on www.d.o and elsewhere, reading in > debian-devel can enhance your english vocabulary incredibly and > together with -mentors teach you lots about the 'unwritten' procedures > and measures towards quality. i'd be glad to become an official debian maintainer, but i think the way is very hard and i don't really know where to start. > Personally i would not choose to keep your package installed. oh :( > There may > be more users of Debian underneath their desktop, that might want such > a toy in their 'panel', as KDE calls it; i'd then look over your > package again, given that we had a toys section in the archive by > then. > Debian developers like anybody who is going to help with any of the > workareas for them to improve and KDE, for instance, really has some > source code to show. ;) why do you compare it with kde programs? it is a text based program and i hate kde. > However you gain the experience, i hope that you staying with Debian > will be enyoing and enlightening for you, the community and Debian > developers. yes shure regards nico p.s. sorry for my bad english, i am 17 years old and i learn english only in school. - -- Nico Golde nico <at> ngolde <dot> de public key available on: http://www.ngolde.de/gpg.html echo "[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb729901041524823122snlbxq"|dc
