Hi, no time too look into your package further at the moment. Just commenting on your mail for now.

I wouldn't mind if it is a simple change or not. A change is a change and the timestamp indicates exactly that IMHO. > > - debian/copyright: > > - Important: (C) has no legal meaning, therefore it has to be > > replaced with ©. > > Ok, I have changed it to (c), because, lintian says that the > character © > is obsolete: > > W: lynis: debian-copyright-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding at line > 20 No, it does not say that the character is obsolete. The message states that your file (debian/copyright) uses a character enocding which isn't appropriate anymore. Its a good idea to invoke lintian with the parameter "-i" if you receive such messages to see what exactly they are talking about. It would have shown this long description: The Debian copyright file should be valid UTF-8, an encoding of the Unicode character set. There are many ways to convert a copyright file from an obsoleted encoding like ISO-8859-1; you may for example use "iconv" like: $ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 copyright > copyright.new $ mv copyright.new copyright Thats exactly what you need to do: Convert your copyright file to the proper encoding, but please do not blindly use the command as stated above, because I don't think you use ISO-8859-1. You can use file to find out which file the copyright file is encoded currently. I probably will have a further look at your package this evening.
