Now package is listed only in unknown section [1] (2 users have it) [1] http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_inst.gz > Most importantly, register on sponsors.debian.net so it isn't lost. I registered a weeks ago but... I didn't receive confirmation mail yet (sic!) I have even send a bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no reply till today :( > Some comments/questions: > > * The default version of python in debian is 2.3 (this is changing > soon). You should always use the default version unless your > package won't work with the default version, otherwise python > transitions will take longer. gaupol _requires_ python v2.4, it wont work on v2.3 BTW: if I use python 2.4 in Build-Depends-Indep, it wont build on pbuilder (thats why I have both "python" and "python2.4-dev" in this field) > * Why did you file an extra ITP when there was already one?

Believe me, I was searching for it in reportbug but i missed it. Now I know that I should use google, reportbug is not good enough for searching bugs. RFP and my ITP are now merged > * debian/copyright: needs to contain the copyright statement from > the upstream copyright holders (all of them).

I tried `grep -ir copyright [^COPYING]*| grep -v Salomaa` and it seems that Osmo Salomaa is the only author. I'm not counting translation, in ca.po it says: "Copyright (C) 2006 THE gaupol'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER" so I think there is no need to add extra information in debian/copyright > * debian/copyright: you forgot to add the licence statement in > full. specifically, you missed out the warranty disclaimer and > the how to get the GPL bit.

(quote from debian/copyright file)? > * debian/control: you should use the output of dh_python to add > python depends. Since gaupol requires python 2.4, I had to fill depends field by myself (see above). It builds in pbuilider. > * debian/control: add extra space before Homepage - see devref > 6.2.4 I missed that space, I have to correct my griffith package as well... > * debian/control: I'd suggest mentioning some of the other > features from the upstream website - translation and spell-check > are important to mention IMO. See discussion here [2], spell-check is now not possible using just debian official packages (PyEnchant package is not available). [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358189 > * debian/gaupol.1: typo in DESCRIPTION: command not commands It was generated by dh_make, but I still think it is correct (there are more than one command: '-h', '-t', ...) > * debian/docs: you might want to distribute po/ChangeLog and maybe > po/README.translators I will add them > * debian/rules: shouldn't you be running setup.py clean in the > clean target? It is doing nothing, should I add it? > * Don't forget to build in pbuilder, test with puiparts, lintian > and linda and once it is uploaded add tags to the debtags[1] > database. It builds in pbuilder and it is lintian/linda clean (see my previous mails) `apt-cache search puiparts` and `apt-file search bin/puiparts` returns no result, can you write more about it?
