Hi Christian! > I am looking for a sponsor for my packages "libpqstego" and "pqstego". I'm not a DD so I cannot sponsor uploads, but here are some comments: Both packages are tagged as version: 0.0.0, do you really think they are ready to be included in Debian? In both packages you are shipping the debian/ stuff in the sources, so the *.diff.gz are empty :S. $ dpkg-source -x libpqstego_0.0.0-1.dsc dpkg-source: warning: diff `./libpqstego_0.0.0-1.diff.gz' doesn't contain any patch $ dpkg-source -x pqstego_0.0.0-1.dsc dpkg-source: warning: diff `./pqstego_0.0.0-1.diff.gz' doesn't contain any patch As you are upstream, you should separate the debian/ dir from the sources. If you release a *.tar.gz without debian/ dir, and then you are prepare the debian package, the changes needed are stored in the *.diff.gz file... Check your packages with lintian adding the -I option: $ lintian -I libpqstego_0.0.0-1_i386.changes I: libpqstego source: package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper 7 I: libpqstego0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/libpqstego.so.0.0.0 I: libpqstego0-dev: extended-description-is-probably-too-short I: libpqstego0-dbg: extended-description-is-probably-too-short $ lintian -IE pqstego_0.0.0-1_i386.changes I: pqstego-dbg: extended-description-is-probably-too-short I: pqstego: extended-description-is-probably-too-short you should work on this... And yes... your extended descriptions are for sure *too* short :) BTW, check your short descriptions too, after reading 6.2.1-6.2.3 on Developers Reference [1] [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ libpqstego builds fine under pbuilder, but libpqstego0-dev and libpqstego0-dbg fails on piuparts... I haven't tested why, but please check this too... Uhmm... didn't tried for pqstego... Uhmm BTW, I'm not sure about versioning the package names for -dev and -dbg... check the Library Packaging Guide too [2] :) [2] http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/ Uhmm, finally, maybe both projects can be merged... (?) OK. That's what I can see after a fast checking... Thanks for your interest on Debian :) Ruben Molina > Ps.: Merry Chrismas, and a Happy New Year
