Dear mentors, One of my packages, petris, does not have an upstream download location anymore. I've contacted the author who told me that he is not planning to change this really. He suggested I make it available myself somewhere. I am trying to fix this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387371 Policy 12.5 says: [...] In addition, the copyright file must say where the upstream sources (if any) were obtained. It should name the original authors of the package and the Debian maintainer(s) who were involved with its creation. [...] The '(if any)' makes me think I can amend the copyright file like this: It was originally downloaded from http://home1.stofanet.dk/peter-seidler/ which does not exist anymore. There is currently no known download location. However, the pristine last upstream source is in the petris_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz tarball in the Debian archives. Would this be acceptable? Thanks a lot & best regards, Andree -- Andree Leidenfrost @ Debian Developer Sydney - Australia
