Hi all,my name is Michael and I am new to the debian science community. I am one of the main developers of Eclipse SUMO (https://sumo.dlr.de) and want to help to keep SUMO up to date in debian and also make Apache Arrow available because we added it as an optional SUMO dependency recently. I have a little packaging experience and already packaged SUMO on ubuntu's launchpad https://launchpad.net/~sumo/+archive/ubuntu/stable (with most of the initial work being done by Anton Gladky) and the open build service https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:behrisch/sumoI already have an account on salsa and posted a join request there. I suppose the next good step is reading https://science-team.pages.debian.net/policy/ but please tell me if there is other material I should know about before starting my first PR.Best regards, Michael
Hi Michael,If this is your first time working on Debian packaging, I'd recommend going through WNPP documentation [1] to familiarise yourself with ITP and the bug report workflow as well as look into the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS) [2] to handle opening, closing and editing your bug reports.
Debian workflow is a little bit different from Ubuntu and you need to install Debian in order to work on the packages.
I hope somebody from the team admin will soon look into to adding you to the team.
