No idea about the package or what it even is, but it looks a bit and mentions games, so the Debian Games Team might be a good place to find people/sponsors who know the field and can give hints: https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Team > * URL : http://peq42.com I suppose: https://peq42.com/projects/rpgmod/ > * Vcs : https://peq42.com/downloads/RPGmod%20-%20Linux.deb "Vcs" means "Version control system", while optional its strongly recommend to use one (also for your upstream development). Look it up on your preferred search engine; it might change your life. > Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: > > dget -x https://peq42.com/downloads/RPGmod%20-%20Linux.deb Usually, you upload a source package that builds one (or more) binary packages (= the deb files). Your deb uses zst as compressor, so I guess you built it on a semi recent Ubuntu release (older versions might have problems with it, Debian releases even more – read-only support exists rather recentish). You don't need to know what the first part of that sentence means to be a good packager (but feel free to look it up if you are interested), but packages for Debian should be built in the Debian release they are targeting (for a new package, that would usually be 'unstable') – you can use virtual machines, chroots and what not for that and use e.g. tools like sbuild. Your package installs (most) things in /opt – that isn't suitable for packages targeted at the Debian archive. I also note that your package claims to have no dependencies whatsever, which I find somewhat hard to believe even if it is technically possible. > additional comments: > I'm sorry if this e-mail is not exactly perfect or if anything is missing, > this is my first time packaging and submiting a package to the debian store. > I setup the package using my personal e-mail(gabrielpm2010@gmail.com) and > real name(Gabriel), but for the sake of lowering spam I get there, if > possible, utilize this one(admin42@peq42.com) in the store You can give any mail you like in the packaging… personally I am using my @debian.org address in the packages and my personal mail for communication on this and other lists, reply to bugreports and so on. Others do the reverse. None of it will help lower spam though as nobody and nothing can avoid an (un)healthy dosage of spam. Note that Debian doesn't have a "store". We have repository(s) which can mean the same thing and actually pre-dates stores, but usually involves a different mind set: (Personal opinion follows) We don't "sell" individual packages as products, but an entire catalog of 70.000+ packages that work (and play) well together. As said, I haven't looked too closely at the package, but even so I think you will need to invest a lot more work into making it fit for the Debian archive… or in other words: lots of documentation to read, policies to follow and friends to make on and off list(s).
