I think it is close but there are a couple of other random thing:
- The list of acceptable categories comes from the
http://cygwin.com/setup.html, not from Debian. Adding a new package
requires discussion here first.
- Rather than saying "please avoid the package name", please make it an
imperative like "Do not use the package name".
- Should the "Do you have time to maintain the package?" question be the
very first question?
- I wonder if a summary detailing how a package gets accepted would be
useful just for reiteration:
1) Build the package and make sure that you have time to maintain it.
2) Send an ITP to the cygwin mailing list. If the package is part
of a distribution, include the URL which demonstrates this. Include
a setup.hint.
3) If you have received the correct number of votes or if the package
is part of a distribution, include URL(s) for the package binary and
source so that someone can download them to check the package for any
obvious problems.
4) Once you get a GTG from a package maintainer, send a "Please upload"
to the cygwin-apps mailing list.
5) When you get the "uploaded" confirmation, send an immediate note to
cygwin-announce.
Other than that this is nearly GTG, I think.
