-When you encounter any GNU/Hurd related bugs in a Debian package you can fix, please use the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking System) to report them.
-
-Managing Debian packages and using the BTS is quite simple. If you're new to Debian, here's a short guide:
-
-* first of all, check [http://bugs.debian.org/<package>](http://bugs.debian.org) to ensure the problem is not in the BTS already. This is possible for packages and bug numbers. [[TWiki/InterWikis]] is a shorthand way of linking to bugs and packages from this site. i.e. [[DebianBug]]:hurd [[DebianPackage]]:oskit
-* you can fetch package sources with:
-
- apt-get source <package>
-
-note: this should unpack already
-
-* and unpack with:
-
- dpkg-source -x <package>x-y_z.dsc
-
-* then get all dependencies:
-
- apt-get -y build-dep <package>
-
-note: if some dependencies are missing, it most probably means you have to port them first. follow this instructions recursively until done
-
- :)
-
-* Debian packages have a makefile in debian/rules, with (at least) the following targets: <dl>
- <dt> build</dt>
- <dd> Yup, to build </dd>
- <dt> binary</dt>
- <dd> Generates deb files in <code>../</code></dd>
- <dt> clean</dt>
- <dd> Full clean </dd>
-</dl>
-
-* when you have a patch, send it to the BTS using the reportbug utility (or manually as explained in <http://bugs.debian.org/)>. The following parameters should be used:
-
- Severity: important (when the package is unbuildable or uninstallable, lower otherwise.)
- Tags: sid, patch
-
-* be nice to the maintainers. most are friendly and cooperative, and a few could annoy you for months before applying. Be patient.
-
-Read <http://bugs.debian.org/> for extensive documentation on the BTS.
