Hi, being relatively new to the world of packaging, I'll be a bit more specific: - start with reading the New Maintainer's guide, on the devel page given by Michael, or out of the maint-guide package. - create an ITP (Intent To Package) on the wnpp "package" (with reportbug). - CDBS is in deed really nice to easily package a Java library. - as a basis for your package, I can suggest my packages libjgoodies-forms-java and libjcalendar-java. They use CDBS and are pretty straight-forward aka simple to understand. - once you've packaged the library and can install & remove it without error or warnings and once it's lintian & linda clean, you can ask for a sponsor on this list.
If you have questions in the mean time, you are welcome to ask back questions on this list or on the debian-mentors list. Nevertheless, most of your questions will already been answered before, either in the Debian Policy or in the Developer's Reference, so you should consider these 2 documents as your bible/thora/coran ;-). Check also http://wiki.debian.org/Java and http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ Hope this helps, Eric > On Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 10:12:18AM +0300, Omry Yadan wrote: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> Hi, >> >> JNotify (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jnotify/) is a java library >> that provide file system notification for java applications running on >> linux and windows, licensed under lgpl. >> >> I`d like to get it into Debian, what's the procedure? > > Read all the documentation at http://www.debian.org/devel/.
