Maintainer duty
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
The Debian project specifies the role of a 'maintainer' which is the person
|
||||
making the Debian package of the program. This role requires an 'sponsor' to
|
||||
upload the package. As a maintainer you should follow the guide
|
||||
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide . Your sponsor will be there
|
||||
helping you succeed.
|
||||
|
||||
The most relevant information to update is the changelog file:
|
||||
Each new release should create a new first paragraph with new release version,
|
||||
changes, and the maintainer information.
|
||||
|
||||
After this is done, follow README.debian to generate the actual source
|
||||
packages and talk with your sponsor to upload them into the official Debian
|
||||
package archive.
