Re: RFS: Jampal (2nd try)
To Kilian Krause
As per the email trail below, Luca recommended that the package should be in
section main rather than contrib.
I have uploaded it again.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: -
URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jampal -
dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jampal/jampal_02.01.05-1.dsc
The only change is one line in debian/control
Section: contrib/sound
Changed to
Section: sound
Please upload it again.
Thanks
Peter

For non-free packages in Suggests, main is fine. Contrib is in case your
package build-depends, depends, or recommends a non-free one.

Yes, mentors or another location your sponsor can fetch and sponsor it
again. In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'm going to reject the
package currently sitting in NEW to let you use the same version number.

Hi Luca
I am new to packaging for Debian. In an earlier version of packaging
jampal I had some other dependencies which I have removed. Right now the
only reason I can see for it being in contrib instead on main is that
there is a suggested package of mbrola which is non-free. I think that
is probably not a good reason for keeping it in contrib. I could also
remove that suggestion if it helps.
Should I change it to main? How do I go about that? Do I have to change
it and submit it to the Debian mentors again?
