The use of 'even more!' is not ideal and some of the features (like import/export) could do with some more detail. The "standard" application in this area is gnucash (I was a gnucash developer at one time) and your long description should follow that template and tell the user how homebank differs from the "standard" app in the field. For one thing, you should make a big deal about how quickly homebank starts up compared to gnucash (which > probably has a LOT to do with the vastly reduced number of > dependencies).

Some of the SVG files are very large - I would be particularly interested if upstream were willing to consider smaller graphics and less buttons on the toolbars (think embedded). splitted in homebank-common and homebank > 3.

Not much you can do about that but be prepared for users expecting a package with a much longer history - users may expect it to be more stable than if it was version 0.3.3 (which is closer to how it looks to me). I agree... > 5. Please ask upstream to make it clear in the app that Help|Contents requires an internet connection - this action has the F1 shortcut key which most users would expect to provide offline documentation, not online - especially as the Help menu specifically includes an online help menu item which takes you to a different site. This is just a case of preempting bug reports. I would encourage you to encourage upstream to provide offline documentation - HTML is fine - via doc-base and a homebank-doc package. ok, I'll contact the author... > 6. the watch file is broken: > homebank-3.3$ uscan -dehs --no-download > <dehs> > <package>homebank</package> > <debian-uversion>3.3</debian-uversion> > <debian-mangled-uversion>3.3</debian-mangled-uversion> > <upstream-version>3.3_unstable</upstream-version> > <upstream-url>http://homebank.free.fr/public/homebank-3.3_unstable.tar.gz</upstream-url> <status>Newer version available</status> > > Use this watch file instead: > # Compulsory line, this is a version 3 file > version=3 > > http://homebank.free.fr/public/homebank-(.*)_[a-z]*\.tar\.gz fixed, thanks for the suggestion. thanks for the interest and for the review Neil, I hope that now the package is ready for the upload... :) The updated package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/homebank - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/homebank/homebank_3.3-1.dsc kind regards, francesco -- Francesco Namuri http://www.namuri.it/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
