I'd suggest joining the Debian Games Team, you will find sponsors and "testers" there. In exchange, we would hope you could help maintain other games in Debian.
I looked at your tarball and have the following comments: A normal tarball would contain a typuspocus-1.2.3 directory, but yours contains trunk. I'd suggest using the standard './setup.py sdist' command to create your tarballs in future. Most of trunk/typuspocus/music is under a non-free license. You need to remove every file that is licensed under the CC-BY-NC-ND license and replace them with DFSG-free music. Some resources to replace them: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Games/Resources DFSG-free CC licenses are CC0, CC >= 3.0 and not any of NC or ND. Please ensure that trunk/typuspocus/sounds doesn't have the same issue as the music. Generally one ships only the .po file in the tarball and the .mo is created at build/install time. A number of images mention they were created with Adobe ImageReady or Photoshop, which are not free software. I'm wondering if GIMP/Inkscape/etc are not good enough for that? The icons look like they were generated from an SVG or similar, but I don't see it in the tarball. Some of the images look like they were taken from wikipedia, you'll need to clarify the origin, copyright and license for each image. Others look like they are rendered from SVG, Debian needs the source code for those. Some of the images contain rendered text, this prevents the app from being internationalised and translated to other languages. I'm also wondering if the font used in them is DFSG-free. mano-easteregg.png is, um, interesting. I'd personally suggest to use a less controversial image :) A bunch of files are actually duplicates (run fdupes -r trunk), you can save a lot of space by only shipping one copy of each or using symlinks if you require both filenames to be available. trunk/typuspocus/escenario/MagicSchoolOne.ttf is a non-free font "(c) 2004 Michael Hagemann www.FontMesa.com All Rights Reserved", please remove it from the tarball. trunk/typuspocus/escenario/DejaVu*.ttf are duplicates of the DejaVu fonts. Please remove them from the source package, make the binary package depend on the appropriate ttf-dejavu-* package and use fontconfig or similar to find the right font at runtime. trunk/typuspocus/audiencia/Copyright says the images are CC-licensed and from www.stortrooper.com, unfortunately that is now a spam site and the Internet Archive's Wayback machine for it is broken. You need to clarify the exact copyright and license information for these. Looking at the Internet Archive's Wayback machine for stor.co.uk, I find very restrictive licenses, therefore I very much doubt these images are under CC licenses: http://web.archive.org/web/20011031180246/www.stor.co.uk/tandcs.html http://web.archive.org/web/20020928123609/http://www.stor.co.uk/ trunk/typuspocus/countries.py could be replaced with loading the data from iso-codes. The manual page and desktop file should reside outside the debian/ directory and be installed by setup.py since they are not specific to Debian. debian/changelog contains no ITP bug: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l1 debian/changelog needs a Debian version number, so change it to 0.4.2-1. Your package FTBFS in Debian because python 2.6 is not yet the default: mkdir -p /home/pabs/tmp/trunk/debian/typuspocus/usr/games mv /home/pabs/tmp/trunk/debian/typuspocus/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/typuspocus /home/pabs/tmp/trunk/debian/typuspocus/usr/share/ mv: cannot stat `/home/pabs/tmp/trunk/debian/typuspocus/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/typuspocus': No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 In any case you should definitely not hard-code python version information in debian/rules. I'd suggest adopting debhelper 7 dh rules.tiny style debian/rules as well as DEP-5: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ https://penta.debconf.org/dc9_schedule/events/418.en.html http://manpages.debian.net/man/1/dh lintian complaints once I hack around the FTBFS: lintian --info --display-info --display-experimental --pedantic --show-overrides --checksums --color auto W: typuspocus source: missing-debian-source-format I: typuspocus: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly I: typuspocus: extended-description-is-probably-too-short I: typuspocus: font-in-non-font-package usr/share/typuspocus/escenario/MagicSchoolOne.ttf -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
