Repository planned?

Do you plan to host a repository, or do you plan publishing straight to Debian?

I've put up a repo for matebook-applet, hope you don't mind me including huawei-wmi .deb until you publish, so that dependency gets resolved?

Ah very nice! Sure, you can and should include huawei-wmi.

I wanted to host an own repo, too, mainly for a custom kernel (APU2 boards) but haven't yet decided which tool to use. I'm interested in having both packages being released to Debian (never did). I guess, this requires a bit more care and maybe the kernel 5 series should be in sid first. But in the meantime I could try to get rid of the lintian complains.

Sure, it's all pointless without kernel 5.0+ (and probably even DKMS with driver version 3.0, since it didn't have all these hooks before that; or indeed wait till 3.0 is in mainline and that kernel is in sid).

Just in case you were curious: I used aptly to set up the repo. The documentation is hit-or-miss, but it's doable, and since I already had my blog hosted adding a subdirectory with repo to be served from the same hosting was just an rsync.

Thanks for the hint, aptly is great, I would have overlooked it. Having finally a repo, too.
