Hello! Currently, I am trying to get my package dMagnetic into Debian's repository. You can find it at
https://mentors.debian.net/package/dmagnetic Despite my best effords, there are still a handful of lintian warnings left. Naturally, I would like to get rid of them: – Package is not in Debian – Package has lintian informational warnings dmagnetic source I debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic I testsuite-autopkgtest-missing P rules-requires-root-missing X debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature dmagnetic I description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly "Play classic textadventures from Magnetic Scrolls in glorious ANSI Art." I hardening-no-bindnow usr/games/dMagnetic I hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/games/dMagnetic Whilst there is nothing I will be able to do about the "insecure iru" and "gpg signature", the "rules-requires-root-missing" is bugging me. What EXACTLY is it that I have to put into the debian/control and debian/rules files, so that this message disappears? The only root-permissions my package needs are during the installation process. Not whilst building, not whilst running. PLEASE DO NOT JUST COPY&PASTE A LINK TO THE DOCUMENTATION IN HERE. PLEASE HELP ME. Thomas
