Hi Eugene,
Thank you very much for revamping the testng package. That was the only
package I never managed to build.
I haven't tested the package, but after looking at the source on alioth
I have a few suggestions:
* You should be able to avoid patching the pom by adding rules in
debian/maven.rules
* It would be nice to import the upstream source in Git with:
git-import-orig --verbose --merge --pristine-tar
testng_6.8.7.orig.tar.gz
* The changelog should probably mention that you rewrote the packaging
using maven-debian-helper and that you dropped all the previous patches.
* You could use canonical URLs for the Vcs-* fields in debian/control to
avoid a lintian warning.
* I suggest compressing the source tarball with xz, mh_make will do that
by default in the next release. The syntax for orig-tar.sh is:
XZ_OPT=--best tar cJf $TAR --exclude '*.jar' --exclude '*.class' $DIR
