Zak, I've been looking at the package. It looks quite good. However, I found that at the changelog you close many bugs, acknowledging the NMUs. This is what the Developer's Reference says, but it has actually been reported as a bug, by Jeroen [1]. So, you might want to drop that and ask your future sponsor to please build the package with the -v<version> option. [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353447 Also, I got all these lintian errors: W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man6/xshisen.6.gz 140: a space character is not allowed in an escape name W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja/man6/xshisen.6.gz 9: warning [p 1, 2.0i]: cannot adjust line W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP/man6/xshisen.6.gz 9: warning [p 1, 2.0i]: cannot adjust line W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP.JIS7/man6/xshisen.6.gz conversion from `JIS7' is not supported W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP.PCK/man6/xshisen.6.gz conversion from `PCK' is not supported W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP.SJIS/man6/xshisen.6.gz 9: warning [p 1, 2.0i]: cannot adjust line W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man6/xshisen.6.gz 9: warning [p 1, 2.0i]: cannot adjust line W: xshisen: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja_JP.ujis/man6/xshisen.6.gz 9: warning [p 1, 2.0i]: cannot adjust line W: xshisen: unquoted-string-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/xshisen needs:2 W: xshisen: unquoted-string-in-menu-item /usr/share/menu/xshisen section:2 The manpages might not be errors at all, since it's in japanese, and maybe lintian is not really so good at checking japanese manpages, but the others are real warnings: ?package(xshisen):needs=X11 section=Games/Board\ title="xshisen" command="/usr/games/xshisen" Should be: ?package(xshisen):needs="X11" section="Games/Board"\ title="xshisen" command="/usr/games/xshisen" Also, when running "linda" against it, I got this other error: W: xshisen; Package version 1.51-2 is less than 1.51-1-1.3. Which looks kind of puzzling at the first moment, but after parsing the numbers, it's correct. 1.51-2 means: upstream 1.51 - debian 2 1.51-1-1.3 means: upstream 1.51-1 - debian 1.3 So, even if the debian part is greater, the upstream part is smaller. I guess you'll have to keep the extra -1 until the next upstream release comes. -- Besos, Marga
