Control: tags -1 moreinfo
Hi Dave,
I've reviewed the package on mentors; it needs some work:
- the patch "docs and build tweaks":
- The Bug-Debian should point to a bug _covering_ the patch, not the ITP.
(IOW, remove that line from the dep3 patch header)
- Maybe that patch should be sent upstream?
- You add -Wpenandic and -g. That shouldnt be neccessary.
(and even fragile because of the -Werror)
- Readme.Debian
- does not contain useful informastion, it should be probably be deleted
- If, then this would be in Readme.source (see debian policy), but I
suggest:
- (if you want to record the git commit id, the better place is to have it
in the version string of the pacakge. see uscan(1) pretty-rule
- d/changelog, package version
- The Debian revision should be "-1" for initial packages and
- should only have this entry:
"Initial release (Closes: #<ITP-Bug>)
- IOW: delete the entries for -2 and -3 and make the one for -1 read that line
above, filling in your ITP bug number
- d/control:
- you only need to Build-Depend on debhelper-compat; the debhelper entry is
redundant.
- Standard Version can be updated.
- is the "!" in !Spark on purpose in the description?
- Package sqsh has already a binary called sqsh. So you will need to rename your
binary to something else.
- Upstream has some new commit. Maybe you could evaluate if those are nice to
have. It seems that they have added cmake support, which could be a improvement
over a simple Makefile and possibly makes (part of ) your patch obsolete and
as cmake supports install targets, it might even be able to remove the overrides
in d/rules.
- d/snaprk-docs.docs -- I guess this file is not needed.
I'm tagging it moreinfo, that means an updated package is required to proceed
with this RFS. Once it is ready, remove the tag for a second round of review.
