the package is already done, it was pretty easy with py2dsc; what i want to do now is: - check the created package - create a git repository - add a copyright file: there's no copyright in the original .tar.gz, the only copyright claim that I've found is at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/quantities; I've asked upstream to add an explicit copyright file, but had no answer up to today. BTW, can I write the copyright file only based on the page on python.org I would also appreciate some help on creating the git repository, I'm reading http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git but some things aren't completely clear to me - e.g. will this be a "collab maint project" ? the project is debian-science ? Or what ? I think that by the end of this week I could upload a first and reasonabily good version of the package to alioth. Bye Andrea
