I've read through the packaging briefly. Minor comments: please consider using a space after the commas in Build-Depends. I'm not sure that you need the entries in debian/dirs, which I presume are created by the upstream Makefile. It's probably neater to prefix all the debhelper files with the package name, e.g. "debian/httpry.docs". I would modify debian/rules to use the short form of dh, and put things like the man page filename into debian/httpry.manpages. You might need to override dh_installchangelogs for the upstream changelog. (Although these changes are "just" a matter of style, really.) I haven't checked the copyright thoroughly, but I notice that the source contains copyright notices for 2005-2009, not just 2009 as listed in debian/copyright. It might be better to license your packaging changes under GPL-2+, same as the program itself - that way, it's easier for someone else to submit your patches upstream later, for example. Can you tell me what makes httpry better or different to using tcpdump and wireshark? As in, if it gets uploaded, is it going to have enough users reporting bugs and so on? -- Tim Retout <dioc...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
