Packaging Open Sankoré for Debian/Ubuntu

[Mike Gabriel]

Hello Cyril,

I am supporting Miriam with the packaging work of Open-Sankoré. I am  
not sure if she already replied to your mail (I might have missed it).  
If not I dare to answer your mail von her and the Debian Edu  
Paackaging Team's behalf.

For Debian packaging several upstream source availabilities are  
thinkable. In most projects upstream provides source tarballs and  
these then are mangled into Debian packages.

For the current package draft we obtained a Git version of Open-Sankoré:
https://github.com/Sankore/Sankore-3.1

I am getting a little confused about the version number you mention  
above. If the GitHUB repos refers to 3.1 and you to the upcoming  
release as 1.4 I suppose that there is some inconsistency.

Do you have upstream tarballs and a respective download location for  
those? If so, please help us with providing such an URL. Thanks a lot.

Maybe you also can go into details on the versioning scheme.

LGPL-2 is just fine, please make sure that all file headers bare the  
same information regarding the upstream license.

Regards+Greetings,
Mike
