How are you editing debian/changelog? The timestamp is old!
Ah, oops, I forgot dch. I've been using emacs. The changelog is
still
something I am somewhat confused by. I get the idea of course, but
the
not the specifics. I was under the impression that pkg-multimedia
uses
git-dch to automatically generate the changelog, so I stopped editing
it. Also, since this package hasn't been released yet, should I
still
be adding things to the changelog?
Well, it depends on how many things you had to do. In this case, it
appears that not much (other than fixing minor mistakes not found in a
previous release). But you should still run dch. Please read the
manpage, specially the section about the release heuristics. I use the
changelog one, which seems to work well for our workflow.
Ok makes sense. I updated the timestamp with dch and pushed the
commit. The last question for me here is what should go into the
changelog for this initial release?
Also, there is no need to ship the GPL text in the package. It seems
like no patch or file tries to read the license, so no need to
ship it
(we already have the copyright file).
The LICENSE.txt file is part of the standard library format.
Does anything break if we don't ship it?
On all other platforms/distros it'll have that file there, and its
visible using the library browser, so it would be only on Debian that
you didn't see the license file. I think that sounds like minor but
actual breakage.
