** What I have already done for packaging openmeca **
- open an ITP (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850590).
Andreas Tille (from debian-science) tell me that the soft fit
well with
the debian-science field.
good.
- open a git repository for openmeca on alioth :
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/openmeca.git/
post a first version of the openmeca package on this git
repository.
This package seems to be right on my personal computer (Ubuntu
16.04.1
LTS and checked with "gbp buildpackage")
good. (although you really should build it in Debian unstable, and
test it there too).
- post an intent on the debian science list (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2017/01/msg00093.html)
but I have no answer.
That's not an "intent" really, it's a forward of your ITP with "some"
added text.
As I have no answer from the debian-science list (probably they have
no
time), I post my request on this list.
1) consider that 4 days are really little, also considering a week
end
was in the middle
2) the subject was really poor: most of use receive *a lot* of emails
and subjects are important; I probably skipped that email thinking
it
was just a "FYI" of an ITP related to -science.
I am not used with the Debian policy so... please tell me if I am
wrong,
impatient, or something else....
The usual procedure (especially if the team have nothing else in
place)
is to open a RFS bug. I invite you to read
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers especially from point 5
onward; mentors.d.n also gives you a template for the RFS bug (see
point
4). (note that even if you'll have to upload a source packages to
mentors.d.n, several of us still prefer to review using a git
repository, so please include that too in the request).
The reason to prefer an RFS bug over emails is that they don't get
lost:
several of us look at https://bugs.debian.org/sponsorship-requests
from
time to time and take care of pending request, whereas emails in a
mailing list are much harder to keep track of.
