This depends on whether the perl modules are for use outside of collectl or not. It's probably fine to use /usr/share/collectl, providing the package works. > 2) Lintian complains > > W: collectl source: quilt-build-dep-but-no-series-file > N: > N: Using quilt requires you to explicitly list all patches you want to > N: apply in debian/patches/series.

In the copy on mentors.debian.net, there's no debian/patches/ directory, so I suspect it's been missed out somehow? > 3) ITP.

I'm afraid I'm quite picky, though - I run lintian with '-iI --pedantic', so please do the same and fix as many messages as possible. I'm 'diocles' on IRC if you have any questions. I may also ask you to maintain this as part of the pkg-perl apps repository, but I haven't decided yet. :) -- Tim Retout <t...@retout.co.uk> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
