Hi Rafael! I am not a mentor, but I have taken a quick look at your package and noticed a couple of odd things: 1. The original tarball appears to contain only a single directory which extracts to a folder name which does not match the upstream name and version of the package. 2. The diff.gz appears to be creating the upstream source as well as the debian/ directory. The diff.gz should only contain the "debianisation" of the package. 3. I cant find where to actually download the upstream source. 4. Have you run lintian against it?

This unfortunately this we as packagers occasionally need to write them. 4. You may want to make the package source format (3.0) Hopefully a real mentor will also take a look at your package ;) Regards, Paul. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
