Usually not available for immediate reply, I was online when your email arrived. On Sat, Nov 06, 2021 at 09:09:17AM -0700, Mac Lee wrote: > I haven't gotten a sponsor yet. Could you be my sponsor? I would be glad. I'll have to review your package when it's ready. A package that works on your own machine is a starting point; but in most cases, several changes are required to polish a private package up to Debian's usual level for general distribution. My sponsor, Giacomo Catenazzi, guided me to make such changes to my first package when he sponsored me in 2004, so I am to do likewise for you. I am not a prolific sponsor, having done it only once, and that over a decade ago, so I'll be a bit rusty on the procedure; but you and I will work it out. Meanwhile, several questions: 1. Have you already packaged the software as a *.deb that successfully installs on your own machine? (If not, then let me know if and how I can help.) 2. Have you read or reviewed Debian's New Maintainers' Guide? (It can be found among other places in the Developers' corner of the debian.org web site). If not then, when you have time, you'll probably want to do that. 3. Does your software build and run on bullseye? On sid? On both? 4. Have you already chosen a package builder? If not, there are two or three, and you can use whichever you prefer; but for information, pbuilder is the one with which I happen to be familiar. 5. Does your software access the display (as via GTK, for example)? Incidentally, the extent to which to continue to Cc our correspondence to bugs.debian.org is up to you; but you can drop the Cc at your discretion if you wish.
