Hi, I am posting to both lists since I am unsure where the best place is. I am however not subscribed to any of them, so please keep in Cc for the moment:
As a dependency of the Virtual Observatory "DACHS" package [1], which I am planning to package, I need to have the "q3c" [2] and "pgsphere" [3] packages in Debian. All packages already exist in a separate repository [4]; the initial packaging was done by Florian Rothmaier. However, I am very new to Postgresql extension packaging, and therefore I would ask to get some useful hints here. Especially: Is there a Debian policy for postgresql extensions that documents the preferred way for packaging? A preferred git repository? Or is the Debian Science git repository OK? Are extensions dependent on the postgresql version, and if yes, how should I create the package to enable smooth transitions? What are the preferred names for the packages? I would be glad to get some initial startup here (maybe a simple template or so)?
