Thanks. In turn (and because I think you are not a member of Debian Blends team) I added the -dev package to mathematics-dev, physics-dev and engineering-dev: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/blends?view=revision&revision=3887 Please tell me whether you regard this as sensible (or please ask if you have no idea what I'm talking about). When doing so I realised that physics-dev is very badly / not really maintained. Any volunteer to check the package pool for packages that are helpful for developing applications for physicists? > I have removed the version uploaded on mentors.debian.org for now to > avoid duplication. If you want me to sponsor this as SoB[1] package I personally do not require an upload to mentors.d.o because I use the repository anyway. When looking at the package I have the following hints: d/copyright: The header is not a valid DEP5 header. You can easily check the file by using cme fix dpkg-copyright d/*.install: The files are starting by a line "#!/usr/bin/dh-exec" I admit I have never seen this before even if I suspect this might be somewhere in the docs which you have definitely read in a way more recent version than me. The line does not harm but to the best of my knowledge you can safely remove it. d/watch: Pure nitpicking: The file contains some boilerplate comments like "# Uncomment to examine a Webserver directory" You actually *have* uncommented the line - I'd recommend droping useless comments. Regarding building he package: When using git-buildpackage it comes very handy if the pristine-tar information is inside the repository. I think this is even written down in Debian Science policy (did not checked; if it is not it should be - it is in several other team policies). Please use git import-orig --pristine-tar <orig.tar.gz> to import the original tarball information to get a byte identical orig tarball without downloading again from scratch. Kind regards Andreas.
