Or dch -i ? Well, the result is that your ID is the changelog entry owner (instead of mine) and the time stamp is updated. There are a lot of options to dch and I do not know them all. The most important thing is the result once you are leaving the editor which is fired up by dch after some changes (in principle you can totally ignore dch and fire up the editor directly ... but for instance to get a proper time stamp dch does a nice job). I personally take over packages with dch -i and I also make sure that I reset the increases Debian version (which is another effect of `dch -i` back to the old version. When you do this you will see that also a new paragraph in this changelog section is created which represents the changes of "Andreas Tille". Feel free to delete this since the changelog of a new package should only read "Initial release" and nothing else and finally you want to do this initial release. > > > cme fix dpkg-copyright > > > > > > is your friend! > > > > What about this? > > I believe we are good here now. Committed. Basically. I made some nitpicking change in the copyright of the Files: debian/* section.

Well, you are opening it by reportbug --no-query-bts wnpp (the --no-query-bts option saves you some time if you know for certain that there is no such bug.) Than you are guided by some text based menu framework. Please do not forget to add the Debian Med team address (as in the debian/control file set as Maintainer) once you are asked whether this bug report should be sended to additional e-mail addresses. Once you sended this bug report you get a bug number. This is the number you should fill in where we currently have ????? in the debian/changelog file. If you would have called lintian (did you do so actually??) it would have told you about a missing bug number which is exactly the ITP number (new-package-should-close-itp-bug). > > > Ahh, if there are any publications for phyutility available these > > > should be mentioned in debian/upstream/metadata. > > > > Feel free to just point me to a publication if existing and I provide a > > working metadata file. > > > > The publication is this: > Smith, S.

Bioinformatics. 24: 715-716. > pdf: http://blackrim.org/files/smithdunn2008.pdf OK, I added a debian/upstream/metadata file. One effect of injecting this will be that on the taskspage section for phyutility[1] the sitation will be added after the next regeneration cycle of the tasks pages (at latest in 24 hours). Please have a look at the file debian/upstream/metadata to understand how to specify citations which is IMHO a nice service to upstream developers and scientists. > I am also working on the manpage.

I think once the ITP bug is filed the package is ready for upload ... and this only after half of the MoM period! Thanks for your work on this Andreas.
