Hi everyone,
I think Cesar has fixed almost all lintian warnings except the "too
much arch independent data" warning, including the "keyword" keyword
funny issue mentioned by Gianfranco. However, I see mainly 2 problems.
First, if I try to build using debuild, I get the error
`dh_autoreconf: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1'. I think it is
because dh_autoreconf is running "naked" `autoreconf' instead of
`autogen.sh'. So I think the fix is to add the following entry into
debian/rule:
override dh_autoreconf:
dh_autoreconf ./autogen.sh
Besides, if I try to re-build I get `dpkg-source: error:
unrepresentable changes to source'. Now I don't really know how to fix
since I don't know how translation works. Maybe Gianfranco could help?
Cheers,
Alex
