  • Transfer foreign packaging into official repos

    From Kilian Romberg@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 4 16:00:01 2024
    Dear mentors,

    I'm looking to include already existing Debian packaging for the
    LibreWolf browser (instructions on how to obtain at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys5) in the Debian repositories.
    Now I'm not sure whether any amendments need to be made to the source
    package, or how the upload procedure works in general in such a case.
    Since I couldn't find any official policy regarding that question,
    I thought perhaps the experienced developers around here might help
    me out. Thanks for your time in advance!

    Kind regards
    Kilian Romberg

    This doesn't have any Debian packaging as it used dpkg -b to build its
    debs.

    Now I'm not sure whether any amendments need to be made to the source package, or how the upload procedure works in general in such a case.

    It's not different from the normal case: you write a source package and
    get it sponsored.

    You can just copy the debian directory from firefox and tweak it.
