My package odr-audioenc was rejected after it reached the NEW queue
because one of the library it depends on does not belong to "main" but
to "non-free". I therefore need to change the section in file
debian/control from "hamradio" to "non-free/hamradio" and submit the
package again.
If the package itself is otherwise free, you want contrib not non-free.
The library will go to non-free of course though.
- Do I need to change the package release from 1 to 2 because of this
debian/control file change or can I keep the same package release, given
that the package never made it to unstable
I'm not sure, but I think it would be best to change it, as
documentation of the changes done based on ftp-master feedback.
- Can I take the opportunity of this change to include the latest
upstream version?
Yes.
can I delete the repository on salsa and re-create it again before
pushing the package?
Yes, the git repo isn't very relevant here.
