[02:45] <leslieviljoen> hi people
[02:46] <leslieviljoen> I get this from lintian:
[02:46] <leslieviljoen> file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/udev/rules.d/bosto_14wa.rules
[02:46] <leslieviljoen> reading the docs, I'd imagine this should not be specified in conffiles
[02:47] <leslieviljoen> because its not typically a conf file that users would modify
[02:47] <leslieviljoen> am I right?
[07:13] <leslieviljoen> hi people!
[07:16] <leslieviljoen> I've just built a package for a driver I wrote. I have a few questions
[07:23] <Noskcaj> leslieviljoen, Ask away
[07:24] <leslieviljoen> firstly I put it in Section: kernel, but that's probably not right
[07:24] <leslieviljoen> this is a driver for a graphics tablet
[07:25] <leslieviljoen> what section should it be in?
[07:26] <leslieviljoen> also: I last contributed to a package a loong time ago, and back then I had to get a mentor
[07:26] <leslieviljoen> this was before PPA's
[07:27] <leslieviljoen> do people nowadays first set up a PPA and then try to submit the package from there?
[07:34] <Noskcaj> leslieviljoen, If you want it in debian, you need a mentor
[07:35] <Noskcaj> if you want it to be ubuntu-only, make a packaging request bug and attach your package.
[07:35] <Noskcaj> PPAs are so you can have third-party maintained software, so maybe put it in one first
[07:36] <leslieviljoen> ok thanks
[07:36] <leslieviljoen> which Section should it be in?
[07:37] <leslieviljoen> I suppose I will also need to make a source package, this one is a binary
[07:42] <Noskcaj> I have no idea what section, have a look at the relevant area of https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.debian.org%2Fdoc%2Fmanuals%2Fmaint-guide%2F&ei=0djNVP2PA83r8AWtuYCgCg&usg=AFQjCNEcLldtRFb7WnPQw8kKyqDgg8a9tg&sig2=1dZ9kg76QXex1QFRnDIVxQ&bvm=bv.85076809,d.dGY
[07:42] <Noskcaj> https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
[08:10] <leslieviljoen> maybe it doesn't matter so much
[08:11] <leslieviljoen> though I assumed kernel might be reserved
