Questions about PAPT and the uploading process
Hello all,
I have recently joined the PAPT team and plan to upload a python
application that I am working on. I have a few questions about the the
uploading process.
1. I have read http://python-apps.alioth.debian.org/policy.html. It
doesn't seem to indicate anything about filing an ITP. In all the RFSs I
have seen here, there is an ITP mentioned. Do I need to file an ITP
before I make an RFS? The package I am looking to upload is a new
package and I am currently the only one working on it upstream.
2. The RFSs and (if I am going to need to file one) ITPs seem to have
a template that I cannot find. Am I missing some part of the processes
or does everyone copy it from the previous posts?
3. I am using Ubuntu and have managed to make binary and source
packages on Ubuntu successfully. I also maintain a PPA for this package
and my source packages have compiled on the servers also. I have read
that before I make an RFS, I should ensure that I am able to compile on
Debian. Do I need to have Debian running as well? (With only 5 GB of
space left on my 40 GB hard drive, it's going to be hard for me to get
Debian)
4. Do I have to put my debian dir on the svn repo before I make an RFS?
5. lintian complains about my not using my full name in the package.
Is that necessary? Is it bad if I use only my first name?
Thank you,
Umang
