I think an update to reduce the tar file size isn't a bad thing, but I'm
concerned about other things I see in the candidate version, and so
won't be sponsoring this candidate.
Section: universe/devel seems incorrect for a media player: sound would
be more appropriate.
The maintainer has changed without explanation. More relevantly, the
listed Maintainer does not have an Ubuntu email address, yet the package
carries an Ubuntu revision.
It's much preferable if python packages use the python-central or
python-support structures for install-time compilation.
Has iPod support been dropped? If not, it might be worth suggesting
python-gpod (or the equivalent)
It is generally not preferred to adjust the initial debianisation note
in debian/copyright. Additional work should be noted in the copyright
and licensing for the packaging at the bottom of debian/copyright.
Changes in debian/copyright silently drop attribution to Lee Willis for
mmkeys
Packaging contributions from Adam Cécile have been dropped silently
Not every window manager supports .PNG icons, so the menu file should
use an XPM.
I prefer if debian/ is not from upstream, as it makes it harder to
adjust packaging if significant variance is preferred. Most critically,
it is impossible to delete a file in the diff.gz, so if there are any
files that the maintainer would like to remove, this requires special
effort. The previous packaging repacked the tarball for this, which is
also not an ideal solution.
DH_VERBOSE should be commented out in a production release
Some of the debian/rules rules don't seem to be doing anything useful
(e.g. configure & dependencies)
Watch files should avoid using .*, as perl is greedy.
I've unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors pending resolution of the
above. If a new candidate is prepared, please upload an interdiff
generated with `interdiff -z exaile_0.2.11-0ubuntu1.diff.gz
exaile_0.2.11.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz`, and resubscribe ubuntu-universe-
sponsors to request upload.
