Sorry for the long wait. I am interested in this, but have little time (I am involved a lot of places) so hope that you yourself intend to be active in the maintainance. Feel fee to poke me (i.e. send reminder emails here on the list shouting my name) when you feel new input from me or a package upload is needed. Here are some comments on your packaging: The two custom Python packaging helpers python-central and python-support is deprecated. Drop that line from debian/rules and adjust the control file to use hints suitable for the new python install helper shipped with python itself on Debian. I notice there are binary gettext *.mo files shipped with the upstream source. It seems that they are only (re)generated from the source files when the Makefile is invoked, and I suspect that won't happen as part of the distutils routines. Please ensure that Debian binary packages do not use binary blobs shipped from upstream, but compile fresh binary chunks instead. Please enable the CDBS utils.mk rule, enable copyright-check and hinted initially when then compiling, and ensure that debian/copyright appropriately contains all(!) copyright and licensing info of the source tarball. E.g. mac/Cillop seems to be from a different project but is not listed with copyright holders or licensing in the copyright file. Apparently upstream has a pending item related to this in doc/TODO. Please consider using newest draft of DEP-5. Instead of debian/docs I suggest to use CDBS variables in debian/rules, with a wildcard for doc/* and properly listing CHANGES.txt as upstream changelog file. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
