You will not be assigned a mentor, you need to ask here for each question (until you succeed or until someone helps you privately). To file an ITP, look at the new maintainer's guide: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ > My first big problem is that most of the packaging examples show > source code that needs to be compiled.

Should I just take a look at some similar packages > (i.e. Bugzilla3 [Perl], Kita2 [Ruby]) and mimic what they are doing? You can. There is also a draft Ruby policy that you can (and should) follow: http://pkg-ruby.alioth.debian.org/ruby-policy.html/index.html When you will hit Ruby specifics, you can crosspost on the mailing list of pkg-ruby. -- Par curiosit+AOk-, quelles informations rassemble un microfil mormon ? -+- N in GGE - C'est plus facile à lire que certains messages ici -+-
