not true; you can file bugs against non-existent packages.
IIRC.

Do any of the bugs in the stable package pose a security risk? Is the
package uninstallable as it is in stable? Ask these questions before
you consider uploading to stable.

Simply uploading to stable usually has the package going to
proposed-updates. The release manager of the next point release will
consider inclusion of packages in proposed-updates in the next point
release (currently it will be 2.2r3). See
http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/ for a summary of requirements.

uploading to stable

2001-04-07 Thread Carlos Laviola
Hi people,

One of my packages (ibrazilian & brazilian-conjugate), as in stable currently,
is buggy. The version in unstable gracefully fixes them, while it doesn't
include any new features (it's a new upstream version, but there is nothing
that would screw things up just because of the code changes). What I want to
know is, how can I get the package in stable (proposed-updates, at least..),
since I'm not supposed to release for both unstable & stable?

Thanks,
Carlos

Sponsor needed: python-happydoc - Python Documentation Extraction Tool

2001-04-07 Thread Harry Henry Gebel
Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for a package I have put together of HappyDoc, a
python documentation generator. The package is lintian clean, the ITP
(including more detailed description) can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=92225&repeatmerged=yes .

The package can be gotten from http://members.home.net/hgebel/

I would also like someone who could be an advocate for the NM process once
they have sponsored the package.

I already have had my key signed by a Debian developer.
