Hi Qianqian, some general notes to both packages: - Please go through ALL files and put licenses/copyrights into the d/copyright. - Remove python2-binaries. This python version is not supported any more. - Remove all binaries from the code (ods-files) - pysdate - empty clean file is not needed - Add DEP-8 autopkgstests
Please pay attention, I did not compile and test your packages. Please fix all lintian errors and warnings, if they exist. Best regards Anton Am Fr., 17.
