(This is my first time trying to maintain a package for Debian... so beware my ignorance!)
I'd like to see the `mintstick` program in Debian, which is currently listed as rfp on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepo ... t=unstable. I feel like this is a good first package for me to try and maintain, since it's simple and I really enjoy using it.
After reading https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFa ... package.3F and a lot of https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/, I think that my first task is to change the tag from rfp to itp on the bugtracker. I'm having trouble trying to do that, though. From reading https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ I've run "reportbug wnpp", said that my report was an ITP when reportbug asked, written a reply (and accidentally submitted it)... the one thing I can't figure out how to actually do is edit the tag! The only options for tag editing that reportbug gives me are:
Code: Select all
patch You are including a patch to fix this problem.
lfs This bug affects support for large files (over 2 gigabytes).
ipv6 This bug affects support for Internet Protocol version 6.
upstream This bug applies to the upstream part of the package.
d-i This bug is relevant to the development of debian-installer.
l10n This bug reports a localisation/internationalisation issue.
newcomer This bug has a known solution but the maintainer requests someone else implement it.
Could someone please help me understand what to do? I would really appreciate it!
Cheers!
Fred
