Adding a package

If you want to make an existing package in Debian to be team-maintained by the Debian Chinese Team, please send an email to Dev Team Maillist and explain your reason.

If you find an new interesting package and want to make it team-maintained from the beginning, please follow the regular ITP process first. Meanwhile, please also send an email to the maillist about your initiative.

Acceptance Guideline

The team will most likely accept Chinese-related packages into the team. If you are in doubt, please get into contact with us.

Maintaining packages

Workflow

We use Git to manage team packages. You are recommended to follow DEP-14 to make the Git repository canonical.

Rules and Hints

  • Be responsive to team members. When performing intrusive operations, send an email to the repo owner or the mailing list to explain what you are doing.
