| 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. |
