Hi Ted, I'm not a DD and so can't help with sponsoring, I'm afraid, but here's a few comments: In debian/control: * ant should be in Build-Depends (in spite of a Lintian warning to the contrary) since it is used in the "clean" target. In debian/copyright: * The copyright statement should include the year(s) of copyright. * SendMbox.java is Copyright (C) 2005 Juhani Rautiainen, AND Robert Clark Building with pbuilder seems to fail. I believe this is because JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj, but control does not list java-gcj-compat as a build-depends-indep (it does list ecj, though). Were you intending to build with java-gcj? debian/changelog.upstream. I'm a bit worried about this one - there doesn't seem to be any way to keep it sync with upstream's version. Any ideas? If the package can go in main/contrib, would you be interested in co-maintenance (http://java.debian.net/developers.html)? (By the way, I've copied this to debian-java@lists.debian.org rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thanks, Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
