Hi Nigel, Sorry for my delay.

I kept the entire line to under 80 to be sure. Here is your answer: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/ppp-gatekeeper/ppp-gatekeeper_0.1.0-201406111015-1.dsc > I have two questions to ask clarification on: > > 1. If there were 100 files, each file having a different date range in the > copyright line, would I need to list each and every one? No. A program is 'one' code only. Consider that you have pacman-cool. See the files: pacman-cool.c, by (John One in 2012, 2013 and 2014) and (Maria Eggs in 2013, under GPL-3+). pacman-cool.h, by (John One in 2013) and (Maria Eggs in 2013, under GPL-3+). pacman-cool.1, by (Maria Eggs in 2014, under GPL-3+). pacman-cool-scores.c, by (Lion Fox in 2013 and 2014, under GPL-3+). The AUTHORS file (or other file) lists the all names above. Then: Files: * Copyright: 2012-2014 John One <j...@one.org> 2013-2014 Lion Fox <f...@mailgh.com> Maria Eggs <ma...@eggs.com.it> License: GPL-3.0+ You can see more details here: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/#copyright-field > For instance, say a package is the combination of a few other projects, its > quite possible that some may list 2014, some 2009-2014, some 2004-2005 for > instance. The same case, if I think that I understood your question. > 2. My second question is if there are say 5 people listed in the files > copyright line, how would these be properly listed? would the first one > appear on the copyright line in d-control and the rest below it indented 1 > space from the left? Ok. I think that I replied above. See an example here: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/s/sentinella/unstable_copyright > As I may not be the only person that authored the files, I changed "by" to > "contact", I hope this is acceptable. No problem. I improved the indentation only. >> 4. As curiosity, why you says 'Source: >> https://gitlab.devlabs.linuxassist.net/ppp-gatekeeper/ppp-gatekeeper' >> in d/copyright but uses >> 'http://download.allworldit.org/ppp-gatekeeper' in d/watch? > > > The first link is the revision control site used for the project, The > copyright URL points to the revision control site as it is the most up to > date. > > The package was downloaded from the second link you mentioned.

I think that the best is use a URL only. The copyright file must to say where you really downloaded the code. You can add a 'Comment' field below the 'Source' to list the revision control site. > I've been over all mails twice, and I am hoping very much that this time all > is good. > > I've re-uploaded the latest revision. Your package is very good and I uploaded it. Thanks a lot for your work (as upstream and as packager).
