Help packaging parmetis
Dear Debian science team,
I'm using Debian now for several years and I also have packaged some programs
for myself in a private repository.
Finally i decided to leave my passivity and supporting debian in a more active
way.
I want to help out packaging parmetis as a start.
What I have done so far:
- checkout the svn-repository of parmetis
- imported it into git (I prefer git over svn)
- build the package in a chroot for amd64 and i386
- Added a symbol file for libparmetis4 to get rid of the lintian warning
- There is still one lintian warning about hardening, which I don't know how
to resolve
I have already registered on Alioth. My Alioth account is wlfuetter-guest, and
I have just sent a request to join.
I read most of the documentation given here: https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging
and here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience.
But now I'm a little stuck. How should I proceed further?
And another question:
Is it ok to switch to git for parmetis or should I use svn instead?
Best regards
Wolfgang
P.S. This is my second try. My first mail was greylisted and did not appear yet
