Hi Pierre, Maybe it really falls outside of the scope of this packaging tutorial since some of it is not about creating packages per se but about how to submit them....
...But I was thinking about something a bit like Pjotr's list, though with a bit more detail. (E.g. things like using `git format-patch' to create patches for submission.) But in retrospect, maybe this would be better as a separate post. cheers, —Ben On 2018-10-08T17:05:54-0600, Pierre Neidhardt <m...@ambrevar.xyz> wrote: > Hi Ben! > I've sent two versions so far and I'm going to send the final version just > now. > As for the checklists: hmm...
