Bug#757966: RFS: lutris/0.3.4-1 [ITP]
Hi Pierre,
I checked your package and you are using/cloning the original upstream
packaging.
To put a package in Debian you must remove the debian/ directory from
upstream source code and generate a new tarball. So, you must start a
new Debian package. You can use some ideas from upstream, not clone
the code only.
I would like you to answer some questions:
1. Why the package is using CDBS?
2. What is the current DH level?
3. Where I can find the 'info' manual of the game?
4. Why the package hasn't a X-Python-Version field?
5. Your package must be main, contrib or non-free? Why?
If your want to put a package in Debian, you must have sufficient
skill to maintain this package and solve bugs etc. I suggest you look
at 'Debian New Maintainers' Guide'[1] and, after this, review your
package. If you have doubts, you can ask for help in Debian Mentors
List[2].
I wish a good work for you.
Cheers,
Eriberto
