hi, i haven't tried to build the package, but just looking at debian/ i have a few comments:
you are packaging a library, yet you do not have the so-version in the package name. the binary packages should be named "libde265-1" (or whatever the current so-version), "libde265-dev",... see debian policy §8 [1] for info on how to package libraries. esp. read about creating a .symbols file.

(that is: you should close the ITP bug with the upload; and you don't need to document changes between versions that got never uploaded...skip 0.5-x) debian/copyright: please use the machine-readable debian/copyright format as described in http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ your copyright-file is missing the copyright-holders! debian/*.dirs: there is no need to explictely mention these directories, as you are installing into the directories using .install files; (.dirs is mainly to create empty directories) debian/watch: the "<project>" part in the filemangle options seems to be a leftover. debian/rules: this seems to be an overly complicated rules file; also, is there a reason to use debhelper-6? consider switching to CDBS or short-form dh, which should get rid of a lot of cruft (like "touch" magic). cheers, and good luck! fgamsdr IOhannes [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
