Hello Jonathan, Thanks for working on this software and preparing the package. I see several issues with it, so I'll point them out (maybe it will get your package in Debian sooner).
Your package is native, which it shouldn't be. You should prepare a tarball named openshot-1.0.0.tar.gz (put on your upstream hat for that), preferably without the debian/ directory, then put on your Debian maintainer hat, rename it openshot_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz (note the underscore), unpack and copy the debian directory there. When you build the source package, a *.diff.gz file will be produced (so you'll have a package of 3 files - .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz and .dsc). Your changelog should contain only one entry: "Initial release (Closes: ######)." It should have version number 1.0.0-1 and be targeted for unstable, not karmic. I'm not too familiar with python packaging, so I can't really give much more advice. It would also be a good idea to send a message to debian-mentors mailing list, requesting sponsorship. If you need help, good places to ask include #ubuntu-motu on freenode and #debian-python on oftc. -- [needs-packaging] OpenShot Video Editor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441678 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is a direct subscriber.
