Bug#820733: Package Series

[Giorgio Sartore]

Hi,
thanks, I almost forgot xenial, today it's the release day.
I think I've confused the build-depends and depends fields. I don't need
libsqlite3-dev to run the program, I just need to build it.

Anyway, should I close this bug and open a new one later?

Thanks,
Best regards
Giorgio

Bug#820733: Package Series

[Giorgio Sartore]

Hi Gianfranco,
here I am again. As you can see on 
http://mentors.debian.net/package/series I fixed all the issues in my 
package.


You told me to come back when I have a larger userbase, so I created my 
own repository for Ubuntu: ppa:mani-ddev/series. You can download and 
install my program for Ubuntu Trusty and Wily.
I also committed the first release on my git 
(https://github.com/Mani-GS/series), added a homepage 
(http://mani-gs.github.io/series/) and removed binaries.


Now I was thinking to create a click package and upload it on the Ubuntu 
Software Center, just to let people download it and make grow the 
userbase. Is it a good idea?
I'm working hard on this little project and I hope that one day it will 
be published on Debian :)


Thanks for your invaluable help.

Best regards,
Giorgio

Hi again,

stuff to do:

fix lintian, make a real copyright file, fix flags, fix useless files, convert 
the format to quilt...

come back if you don't know how to fix issues, when you have a larger userbase, 
and when you learn how
to tag release, remove useless stuff and *not* commit binaries on git :)


and the package has to build on a clean pbuilder/sbuild environment


there is a lot of work to do here!
(I suggest you to go on irc oftc and ask on -mentors, or click on the link on 
mentors website, each
lintian warning has an explanation that helps in fixing it)


cheers,

G.

[Giorgio Sartore]

Hi Gianfranco,
thank you for your answer. I've uploaded the package to

https://mentors.debian.net/package/series

I'm almost sure I made a few mistakes, so please tell me what to do to fix
them.

Best regards
Giorgio

Bug#820733: Guidelines for sensible package synopsis (was: Bug#820733: RFS: Series/1.0 [ITP] -- Keep track of your favourite TV series)

[Giorgio Sartore]

Hi all,
thank you for your hints. I'll update the synopsis as soon as possibile.

I know that I've uploaded the source code yesterday, but I'm working on it
since about a month, in my free time. The project started as a personal
program, recently I thought that it could be useful to other people. So,
I'd like to share it with all Debian users.

Anyway, can you please guide me through this process? It's my first time.
May I have some chances to get it published?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Giorgio
