Quick look at the package: This it's the funny part, I had some troubles trying to understand what's the NMU didn't find a place to understand and then fix this issue. See http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu. Understood, removed the NMU, thanks for the link didn't found it before. What do you mean with unstable in freeze? If you think that it should be in other place just tell me and we will put it in other place. Generally uploading new library version to unstable while freeze is not a good idea. See freeze announcement for more details - http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/08/msg0.html. By what you said I presume that I should put experimental in the changelog? but I'm sure that it must go in unstable, why it will not go there? 3. You dropped dietlibc support without single mention in changelog/NEWS Didn't know if you should mention that or where mention it, maybe I should not drop the support, whats your thoughts about it? I have no idea whether it was used or not, but it seems like some major feature removal, so it would deserve at least note in changelog or NEWS, see http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-news-debian. Done. Maybe I'll added the diet support later if someone ask or if I found it useful for the monkey project. 4. Manually creating postinst/postrm is really not needed, just use debhelper. Ok, I'll take a more deep look on all the tools of debhelper maybe I missed something. Done!. It was a lot more easy, thanks it was a lot better =) 5. Why is there another tarball and debian directory in .orig.tar.gz? Please check how the source package should look like. I was running a command to generate de .origin.tar.gz maybe I forgot some option to run, I'll check more about that You don't need to generate orig.tar.gz, that should be just renamed upstream tarball. I'm not sure if I understood properly but does this means that I have to create a .tar.gz file with the debian directory inside? or just use some debian tools to put the debian directory inside? can you point me with the official documentation about this? Can you point me with a document with more details about this? 6. Ever heard about lintian? I: matrixssl source: binary-control-field-duplicates-source field section in package libmatrixssl3.1 I: matrixssl source: duplicate-long-description libmatrixssl3.1-dev libmatrixssl3.1 libmatrixssl3.1-doc I: matrixssl source: missing-debian-source-format W: matrixssl source: changelog-should-not-mention-nmu I: matrixssl source: debian-watch-file-is-missing Of course, but I didn't saw those problems, can you send me the options I should use ? The I: warnings are generated by passing -I option to lintian. They are usually good things to fix, but not necessarily a bugs. I used the opcion -L wishlist I want to fix the wishlist bugs later cause I need to read more and don't want to stop the process while you review or help me with this package I can do other fix like the ones on wishlist =) The dget line for package with the fixes. dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/matrixssl/matrixssl_3.1.2-2.dsc Are you at IRC sometime in the day to chat about this and ask you a few things more faster? or you prefer the ml?

Please read the freeze announcement: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/08/msg0.html Switching to a new ABI is a major change that should not happen in unstable during the freeze. experimental is available for work that is targetted at the squeeze+1 release (wheezy). I'm not sure if I understood properly but does this means that I have to create a .tar.gz file with the debian directory inside? or just use some debian tools to put the debian directory inside? can you point me with the official documentation about this? Can you point me with a document with more details about this? He means that you should use the same tarball as the one upstream released. I would guess that the one you uploaded has a different md5sum to the one that upstream released. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

No this package isn't new, in fact exist a previous version 1.8.8 which the current maintainer ask for someone to maintain, I'm responding to that bug 544057[1]. I want this package to be updated in Debian because I just finish the ssl plugin for the monkey http daemon project and it will use this version of matrixssl since the current (1.8.8) doesn't work so well.

Also, I saw that the current maintainer was asking for someone to adopt the package here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544057 This it's my second post to the list, I hope that it doesn't disturb anyone else, but I took all the previous advice and start again.
