Package: bsfilter Version: 1:1.0.17-2 Severity: important Hi!
This package is part of the Debian/Ruby Extras team, but it is different in several different ways. In some ways it violates the Debian Ruby policy draft or team package practices; see also [1]. This bug report should be considered as a package review. As I am not familiar with the Japanese character sets, nor the package itself, I would like to leave the changes to you. (But do note that the freeze is near!) My remarks: * The maintainer of the package should be the team, the rest of us should be added as uploaders once we touch the package. * The Vcs-* fields are missing, please add them. * The standards version can be bumped. * If the depend is set on ruby1.8, also set XS-Ruby-Versions and XB-Ruby-Versions and ensure that the bsfilter script uses #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8. * The suggest on libchasen-ruby1.8 can never be fulfilled, I cannot find this package anywhere? * The names of the libraries in the depends, libkakasi-ruby1.8, libdb-ruby1.8, and libqdbm-ruby1.8 should be changed to ruby-kakasi, ruby-bdb, and ruby-qdbm respectively. * There seems to be a source problem for bsfilter concerning ruby-kakasi and mipsel, please refer to [2] for details. * Please convert the copyright file to the Debian copyright format version 1.0 * Please run the test suite during the build process. * It seems that debian/docs is emtpy, maybe it should contain "htdocs"? * The pristine-tar branch seems to be missing.
