Both of these could be described as > "the Linux equivalent of Windows' hibernate functionality" (sic). You are right, I copy-and-pasted from the homepage. But honestly, the first time I read it, I understood what this package was about. At least it's clear. Should I change it?. This is what it's in the package description. In the README.Debian I'll put all the features of this package. > Another thing is that there is already a package called "hibernate" > which may cause a conflict with the version you are planning to > package. Perhaps you should co-ordinate with that maintainer. I'm not trying to package the hibernate script; only the kernel patch for debian linux source. I talked with the hibernate package maintainer and he was so kind to check my debian package. One question was about in which section should this package go. And here we go. So it should be devel, right? > That said, best wishes on your effort to package this functionality > for Debian. > > Regards, > > Kapil. Thank you very much, Mattia
