Hi It mostly looks good, I only have couple of comments. You licensed the debian packaging (incl. patches) as GPL-2. This means that upstream cannot accept your patches without bumping their license to GPL-2, which will make them less likely to accept patches from us. Personally I would recommend using the same terms as upstream itself, but otherwise please make d/patches/* under LGPL-2.1+, so they can take patches from us. Secondly the license of rsyntaxtextarea (I hate typing that >.>) is LGPL-2.1+ (it has the "or any later" clause). As far as I can tell, rsyntaxtextarea has not been uploaded to Debian yet, so debian/changelog should only be entry (only with the "* Initial release"-line). Though if you have had it rsyntaxtextarea downloadable from an unofficial APT-repository (e.g. a PPA) or your website, let me know and we keep both entries. Last, there is a new standards version 3.9.2 (lintian might not warn about it because the date line in d/changelog is older than the release date of the new policy). ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNyQpfAAoJEAVLu599gGRC5XgP/0L+YtMrf7I1pJup/G805V2n M3uUxRiDTQvoQhU/aaC0jZGuAsQRLf9nHDnbGlN0s+xGrkV4LgyJ7FjTVEJwQ3kQ +x+EvDcNwhdwViwcxXbEtguzbxh/OnEQFsYjFL8DrL51mQnUfGjgw8UbG5bVj17U XUkOwx3h+O1vcDjH3MdO54HAdVnjEmGPg/SSfWVbTG4vV8/xkLv+eT9cXcY3qwPK 6ovSl3HvU6Ir0xF3T+5gOfTQq4+NrpJAk1Wrx51yyzZokHBR+doL2JJoOzcGCrvC h/HOh/64pg9Umi9TUgDVI7Dwh+gf6ZQe4OPWuO+wZs+zcWciooaQrq0TAR5pZZNM s9/sU6uLbMvGJlcy4bl4ls0iJq7FA7yAsc7oogwfPEeNmpTbvhpLn4KkpTnvlE0O hvLUdhzT4JydWnKOUDMCNxwV8FsRjOnPNbv/kas7kHlw0KvlOpH2llAjjsnGElpC 5JXLEVK1XabwOZKblkd/68is+6e0jcVUcsGn4C5KP5o8kc3UNAYZBQo+Ay7sau/G 9Lrb3hCFVjmPJfFsXKAUVx85hytPt+eZ+onMJDh11uGPQbMUwLex94fAoDbnsQq3 FUOofambVvtXSbBmWUEHj+Jbuu013waH+LFHG6ei1odJIGQ+bnOoCNotuXalsOGI Vh//pZvILL6b1aHIBE4i =+dbS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
