Dear Ariel, Some time ago, I generated a DEB package named `mwxml2sql_0.0.2-1_amd64.deb'. It works very well, and was the source of the patches that I submitted upstream. Now that I have learned that you welcome such patches, it occurs to me that you might want the DEB package as well. If so, then there are a number of things we should discuss. 0) Naming Your other DEB packages have names like: mediawiki_1.19.6-1_all.deb mediawiki-extensions-base_3.3_all.deb mediawiki-math_1.0+git20120528-7_amd64.deb For naming consistency, would you like the `mwxml2sql' package to be renamed something like mediawiki-mwxml2sql_0.0.2-1_amd64.deb 1) ITP Debian policy requires that new packages first be announced with an Intent-To-Package (ITP) bug report. Then a `Debian Developer' may or may not step forward to sponsor the package for inclusion in a Debian distribution. Do you have someone in-house, who is serving as a `Debian Maintainer'? If so, could you introduce us? 2) Architectures All my systems are AMD64. Whereas `mwxml2sql' contains C language programs, and whereas Debian is a binary distribution; a set of `mwxml2sql' DEB packages should be prepared, one for each architecture. Do you have a way of generating DEB packages for other architectures? Sincerely Yours, Kent
