WORK IN PROGRESS, DRAFT GUIDELINES ARE NOT IN EFFECT

Guidelines for helping out with pkg-games packages

These guidelines are meant to apply:

  • If you want to help out with a package maintained by the pkg-games team
  • If you are a member of the pkg-games team or a Debian Developer
  • If you are not currently the main person(s) working on this package (as indicated by the Uploaders: field in debian/control)

Check debian/README.source

  • If a package has differing instructions in debian/README.source (or another appropriate place), these take precedence over the guidelines on this page, please make sure to check this first.

Committing

For commiting to packages kept in version control (SVN/git) we ask you to:

  • Notify all the people listed as Uploaders and Maintainers, including the mailing list debian-devel-games@lists.debian.org.

    • You do not need to wait for a reply in order to commit, but you do need to act on objections by the people involved if they should arise.

Uploading

For uploading packages we ask you to:

  • Notify all the people listed as Uploaders and Maintainers, including the mailing list debian-devel-games@lists.debian.org.

    • Wait at least five days for a reply and act on objections by the people involved if they should arise. Then feel free to upload or to request a sponsor to upload the package. If you want to add yourself to the packages Uploaders, mention that in your notification and do so if nobody objects.
  • If the package is kept in VCS, make sure the VCS is updated accordingly (import, commit, tag, etc.).
