[Debian-pan-maintainers] packaging procedure

[Sergi Blanch i Torné]

Hi,

I think it has work and now I should contact the developer for unit test
issue. Well, with the last indications I've installed some dependencies I
haven't installed and git-buildpackage almost works. And I say almost
because when it enters test process, it remains there with no more
interaction. Last lines are:
> Running tests...

> Test project /home/serguei/src/debian/ufo-core/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
>     Start 1: test-suite

And it doesn't consume an appreciable cpu resource, memory neither
anything. *dsc, *debian.tar.gz and *amd64.build files are well created in
the parent directory.

I think I'm getting closer and I start understanding how the packaging
process is.

Thanks, I hope soon I'll do the commit to have the auto made package.

/Sergi.
