Please note that I am not currently a subscriber to the debian-mentors mailing list. * Package name : readaloud Version : 1.2.0-1 Upstream Author : Joseph Patterson <[email protected]> * URL : http://readaloud.sourceforge.net * License : GPL Section : text It builds these binary packages: readaloud - Reading program for plain text books My motivation for maintaining this package is: I first created it in 2004 and continue to like it. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/readaloud - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/readaloud/readaloud_1.1.0-2.deb I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards joseph patterson PS: address comments by [email protected] >> * License : GPL >Which: GPL-2, GPL-2+, GPL-3 ? The license reference is clear as is. On any current system, /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL is a softlink to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3. >> readaloud - Public Domain reading program for plain text books >I think the license of the package should not be in the short description. I agree that the adjectives "Public Domain" are non-essential and will change the short description to "Reading program for plain text books". >> My motivation for maintaining this package is: I first created it in 2004 >> and continue to like it. >Then you are the upstream developer? Yes, I am the upstream developer. >links need fixing See above fixed links > Please see to the lintian warnings and try to patch these problems. >W: readaloud source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends readaloud misc-Depends: has been added in the control file >W: readaloud source: missing-debian-source-format added readaloud_1.2.0.debian.tar.gz to dupload group in debian.mentors.net -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers jaunty-updates APT policy: (500, 'jaunty-updates'), (500, 'jaunty-security'), (500, 'jaunty-proposed'), (500, 'jaunty-backports'), (500, 'jaunty') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-15-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages readaloud depends on: ii dict 1.10.11.dfsg-2ubuntu3 Dictionary Client ii emacs 22.2-0ubuntu2 The GNU Emacs editor (metapackage) ii festival 1.96~beta-7ubuntu1 General multi-lingual speech synth ii festvox-kdlpc16k 1.4.0-5 American English male speaker for ii festvox-rablpc16k 1.4.0-2 British English male speaker for f readaloud recommends no packages. readaloud suggests no packages. -- no debconf information ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
