IANADD, so I can't sponsor, but I have reviewed your package and have the following comments: $ lintian -I W: libharminv: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libharminv.so.2.0.4 usr/lib/libharminv.so You need to move the libharmin.so symlink to the -dev package, as it is only used when developing with the library and not at runtime. related to this: $dpkg --contents /var/cache/pbuilder/result/libharminv_1.3.1-1_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- root/root 479 2006-11-11 13:57 ./usr/lib/pkgconfig/harminv.pc -rw-r--r-- root/root 1061 2006-11-11 13:57 ./usr/lib/libharminv.la -rw-r--r-- root/root 21314 2006-11-11 13:57 ./usr/lib/libharminv.a Those files belong in the -dev package, too. And, unless you know there's specific reason, you should not even ship the .la and .a files. The *pc file replaces the *la in a better way. The *.a file is only needed for static linking, which is frowned upon. W: libharminv: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libharminv2 Your library package should be called libharminv2, so that different versions of the library can coexist in the system. For both messages, read extra explanations in http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html I: harminv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/harminv.1.gz:57 I: harminv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/harminv.1.gz:67 I: harminv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/harminv.1.gz:69 I: harminv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/harminv.1.gz:89 I: harminv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/harminv.1.gz:180 Minor bugs: Run lintian with -i to get a detailed explanation. Submitt this changes upstream, they're bugs there, too. $ dpkg --info /var/cache/pbuilder/result/libharminv-dev_1.3.1-1_all.deb [...] Package: libharminv-dev Version: 1.3.1-1 Section: libdevel Priority: optional Architecture: all Depends: libharminv I believe the -dev package should depend on libharminv (= ${Source:version}) I did no review of your debian/copyright file, so there might be issues with it. I wish you good luck in finding a sponsor. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
