Bug#617854: Packaging puddletag for Debian
Hi Sandro and concentrictpuddle,
2011/4/4 Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org>:

Just for the record, if you agree with maintaining the package with
Sandro and me, that would make things easier, since you can just grab
the Debian packaging from us and keep your changes to the upstream
part of the program.
As a side effect of that, we would be performing some audits from time
to time and forward you patches that we deem useful for the users of
the program, and that would just be good in the long run. And, of
course, having it in Debian proper would be great! :-)

As soon as you can clarify this, you can grab our "distilled"
copyright file and use that for your future tarballs.

Those kind of things would be the ones that are of interest to have in
the copyright file, BTW.

Of course, as the upstream author, you would be the best person to
provide some of the documentation. If you are not familiar with the
creation of a manpage, we can surely point you to some very easy to
use documentation/light markup systems that are almost as easy to use
as pure plain text.
