The next step is a looking for sponsor to put pacakge into archive.

The package and other stuff are placed at
ftp://andriy.asplinux.com.ua/pub/people/andy/renrot/Debian/
If you need more information, please, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for notices. I put here more information.

Name: renrot
License: GPL or Artistic
Description: A program to rename and rotate files according to EXIF tags
 Renrot renames files according the DateTimeOriginal and FileModifyDate
 EXIF tags, if they exist. Otherwise, the name will be set according to
 the current timestamp. Additionally, it rotates files and their
 thumbnails, accordingly Orientation EXIF tag.
URL: ftp://andriy.asplinux.com.ua/pub/people/andy/renrot/Debian/

Several projects like RenRot are available in the net, but why to choose
namely RenRot?
a) it is pure CLI with all it's advantage (no need KDE or any other monster to run); b) it uses Image::ExifTool (the best open tool to work with EXIF data) and libjpeg6 (the best open tool to operate JPEG format files, to correctly rotate both, the entire file and the thumbnail inside it);
c) it has very much flex file naming and aggregation template engines;
d) it uses original algorithm of smart Orientation tag rotation;
e) it is a small Perl script - no need compilation, very high portablility.

All of the parts which would be needed for a full upload (.changes, .dsc, .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz, and .deb) can be downloaded from following site: ftp://andriy.asplinux.com.ua/pub/people/andy/renrot/Debian/
