It is not necessarily to use repository on Alioth for your package. You can use a separate repo on Github. But if you want to join Debian Games Team and use Alioth for packaging you should read: http://wiki.debian.org/Games/ http://wiki.debian.org/Games/VCS/git http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git > The package has a Lintian warning: W: fortuner: > hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/games/fortuner. How should that be > treated? http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening Note: Lintian can generate false positive here. So you should check it manually. > And lastly, I've understood there is a freeze now on Debian Wheezy, > how does this affect to packaging a new piece of software? To what > distribution would the new package come? New packages don't affect Wheezy. So you can prepare your package for unstable (as usual).
