DEP-5 is not a requirement as per Policy, but many sponsors encourage (or even demand) the use of DEP-5, and it seems to be gaining more and more momentum in Debian. So I'd encourage you to use DEP-5 as I think it improves the clarity and readability of debian/copyright, but that's just my personal opinion, and my opinion doesn't really count for all that much, given that I'm not a DD and I can't sponsor your package. I've also taken a quick look at your fizsh package, and I've noticed that your debian/watch is broken. Run "uscan --report-status" and you'll see what I mean. It's pretty simple to fix though... --- a/debian/watch 2011-08-21 21:28:34.438237710 -0700 +++ b/debian/watch 2011-08-21 21:24:49.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ version=3 -http://sf.net/fizsh-([0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]+)\.tar\.gz +http://sf.net/fizsh/fizsh-([0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]+)\.tar\.gz Other than that, your package seems to be fine. :) Kind regards, - Vincent Cheng -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
