thanks for looking at it! > A couple of minor points: You might want to include a watch file for new > upstream releases. I indeed wanted to but the website which offers the releases hides the correct url behind a JavaScript. It took me a while to find out that I had to enable JavaScript to be able to click on their links. Because of that it would be necessary for uscan to parse a JavaScript file. I did not find to out how to do this with uscan or if it is even possible at all. The default seems to just be searching for <a href=""> tag values which does not work here because the <a href=""> is generated by JavaScript. > Should you do something with the included pyfixbuf-0.1.tar.gz, like drop it > or add a python package?.

I guess that's fair enough. I forgot to remove that tarball from the upstream orig.tar.gz before my upload to mentors.debian.net. I solved the debian/watch issue when I noticed that apart from the download links, there are also links to the individual <h1> headers on that website which include the version number. The resulting debian/watch file is a bit cryptic but seems to work. I also added debian/repack.sh to debian/watch debian/repack.sh repacks the upstream tarball, removing the tarball with the python bindings and some pre-generated documentation. I added a debian/README.source to explain the changes. The new version is on mentors as 1.4.0+ds-1 http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libf/libfixbuf/libfixbuf_1.4.0+ds-1.dsc Thanks! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
