Review: debian/control: - please uncomment Vcs-* - the description should be rewritten to be useful to debian users. For example, the short description should probably say that it's a "Ruby interface to the HMAC algorithm" or something like that. Also, the line about who wrote it has nothing to do in a Debian description. - the transitional packages were apparently copied from ruby-rspec (see Description:) - see FIXME in ruby-hmac.docs - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
