Hi Charles, (I'm sorry I did not have time for a complete review, so this one is possibly incomplete and focuses mostly on that what lintian told me.)
There are a few typos: I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/bung-common.5.gz Overriden Overridden I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/bung-common.5.gz minumum minimum I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/check_hotplug_usage.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/hotplug_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/hotplug_bu_launcher.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/mysql_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/openldap_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/postgres_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/rsync_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/super_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/sysinfo_bu.5.gz varaibles variables I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/template_file.5.gz folllowed followed I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/templated_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man5/templated_bu.5.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/bung-common.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/check_hotplug_usage.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/hotplug_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/hotplug_bu_launcher.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/mysql_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/openldap_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/postgres_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/remote_agent.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/rsync_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/rsync_restore.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/super_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/sysinfo_bu.8.gz decribed described I: bung: typo-in-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/templated_bu.8.gz decribed described A spare manpage: I: bung: spare-manual-page usr/share/man/man8/bung-common.8.gz Old Standard Version: I: bung source: out-of-date-standards-version 4.1.4 (released 2018-04-05) (current is 4.5.1) (See the Debian Policy for the upgrade checklist; this will then fix also: P: bung source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root Old Compat level, using d/compat: P: bung source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 11 P: bung source: uses-debhelper-compat-file Others (partly needs to be checked if valid) I: bung source: older-debian-watch-file-standard 3 I: bung: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration - d/patches/series can be deleted -- there are no patches - maybe add a d/source/metadata -- see https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata - d/README.Debian is not needed, contains no important infromation. delete it. - d/changelog targets "UNRELEASED". (Maybe useful: Use dc -r "" to update it and update the timestamp.) - d/control, package description. - The short package description should explain a bit more a bout bung than "backup system". - The extended description maybe should be not only a bullet point list, more free text elaborating a bit more about bung, why one wants it and its key features. (I know this is usually quite hard, maybe take a look at other packages how this is usually done) Again, sorry, ENOTIME for a complete review, but you can work on those (small) issues already :) On Sat, Jun 19, 2021 at 09:12:54AM +0530, Charles wrote: > Thanks tobi, I appreciate the guidance > > bung/3.0.7-2 is now at https://mentors.debian.net/package/bung (3.0.7-2 is > signed, 3.0.7-1 was not) -- Cheers, tobi
