hi Lester,
the Python team doesn't typically use mentors, see team policy. But
now that the RFS is there anyway, my review:
* changelog: no need to repeat the bug title or summary when closing
a bug, just the bug number will do.
* copyright: missing entry for:
petl/io/xlutils_view.py:2:# Copyright (c) 2013 Simplistix Ltd
* control: the short description on the binary package used to
reference the field in the Source stanza (via Description:
${source:Synopsis}), but no longer does. Instead, there are now
separate description fields (with slightly different content) for
the source and binary pkg. That duplication doesn't serve a
purpose, especially for a simple single-binary package.
* rules: [already fixed in git] no tests were run on build at all,
although the upstream testsuite can be successfully run with only
minor packaging tweaks.
* control: I suspect more build-deps could be marked '<!nocheck>'?
* the upstream testsuite get installed into the binary package, is
that intentional? Is it used somehow by a reverse dependency?
Please remove the moreinfo tag (and CC me) once you have an updated
package ready.
