But I am stuck. I don't get it what the authors trying to explain. It is about "Creating a new package" section: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging#Creating_a_new_package The second paragraph points to dsc-file creation described here: https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/Initialize The third paragraph is a list of shell commands that do not work in my case. For example "uscan" don't work because it does not know what and where to download. Of course I understand that. I assume I need a dsc file? It seems that my understanding problem is the second paragraph and the dsc-page it is linking, too. For example the first paragraph on the page "/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/Initialize" is impossible to understand for newbies. What is it talking about? There is the term "git-dpm" pointing to "/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/" (now after I edit that page myself). But I am not sure what "git-dpm" is and how much of that big page I should work on to make that "uscan" command run. Kind Christian
