Hi Ko Ko Ye`, short follow up: the mentors page hinted me that the watch file does not work correctly, which seems to align to my suspicion that you should look up how the Debian version string is assembled. You'll need a watch file that only find the upsteam version. Maybe start with putting Debian packaging on it'S own branch?
As you are upstream, this document might be relevant as well, https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide as it has quite useful, general information. -- tobi thanks for the update.

Thanks. Please drop the references to the upstream bugs, they make no sense in the context of the d/changelog. Regarding the change to ignore-patterns, can you expand *why* you need this change? I have a feeling that whatever you want to archive, this is not the correct way. > - It seems that the changes are all stuffed into the single new patch, > the next version will be a new release. > patches: > - keyboard-support.patch > - webcam-support.patch > - appstream-metadata.patch Why don't cut a release now? Regarding the dep3 headers, appstream-metadata.patch seems to refer to the wrong upstream issue? (It points to the same as keyboard-support.patch.) The metadata says "Applied-Upstream: 0.3-2". Well, 0.3-2 is a *Debian* version with upstream version being 0.3 and the Debian (package) revision being -2. (If you are unsure how the Debian package version is made up, please consult Policy §5.6.12) So marking Applied-Upstream with a Debian-package revision does not really make sense. > - W: wifi-qr: debian-changelog-line-too-long > [usr/share/doc/wifi-qr/changelog.Debian.gz:6] > Fixed. > > I: wifi-qr source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream > [debian/patches/webcam-support] > Fixed. > > Here is an updated changelog on Upload #3 > > * Added patch keyboard-support to fix upstream issues: > - Improved keyboard navigation support (Bug #27). > - Legacy encoding support. > - Removes deprecated Zenity code. > - Applied ShellCheck recommendations for improved script quality. > * Added patch webcam-support to add new features: > - QR scanning functionality with webcam support (Bug #25). > * Added patch appstream-metadata for better software center integration. > * Updated copyright year from 2023 to 2024. > * Extended ignore patterns in source options file. > > > On Sat, Nov 16, 2024 at 9:52 PM Tobias Frost <t...@debian.org> wrote: > > > For completness: > > > > Lintian issues to be fixed: > > > > W: wifi-qr: debian-changelog-line-too-long > > [usr/share/doc/wifi-qr/changelog.Debian.gz:6] > > I: wifi-qr: capitalization-error-in-description WiFi Wi-Fi > > I: wifi-qr: capitalization-error-in-description-synopsis WiFi Wi-Fi > > I: wifi-qr source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream > > [debian/patches/webcam-support] > > (see DEP-3 header how to document patches properly) Lintian still wants Wi-Fi to be spelled correctly.
