Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

 dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/quickrdp/quickrdp_1.1-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.


The comment at the top of d/rules doesn't make sense. Please remove it.

debian/docs is empty. Just remove it.

Why Priority: extra?

The upstream makefile hides compilation commands. Please patch it not to 
do that.


The program is built without debugging information. This is violation of 
a should policy (§10.1).


The program is built with -O3 optimization even when 
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt is used.


You recommend tsclient, but this package has been removed form unstable 
(see bug #547314).


Does anybody uses telnet these days? I think recommending it is 
overkill, maybe Suggests would be more appropriate.


What is perl-base recommendation for? Essential packages in Recommends 
looks a bit suspicious.

Dear Guido,
if you are not building the package with the help of pbuilder and you  
are compiling it from plain source, which I don't recommend, install  
the packages below and proceed with the usual compilation.
autotools-dev, libsqlite3-dev, pkg-config, libgcrypt11-dev, libmhash- 
dev, libconfig-dev, automake


Kind regards,

I have a feeling that the new description is not (much) better than the 
old one. Could you please ask at debian-l10n-engl...@lists.debian.org 
for a review?


What does dmaths.patch do? Could add a header to it, e.g. in DEP-3 
format? You probably want to remove the “Binary files … differ” from 
the patch, as it obviously cannot be applied anyway.


Why do you ignore errors from “rm -Rf tmp” in the clean target?

Your copyright file seems to refer to files that don't exist in the 
source package.


How was the tarball repackaged? There's no get-orig-source target in 
debian/rules, and there's no README.source either (please see Policy 
§4.14, point 4).


Lintian emits:
P: dmaths source: unknown-copyright-format-uri 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/ dep5.mdwn?op=filerev=135

(Well, lintian probably should have emitted something else. But the URI 
_is_ broken, in at least two meanings of this word. :P)


It also emits tons of image-file-in-usr-lib. Is that really unfixable?

Why are windows-thumbnail-database-in-package overridden?

Dear mentors,

I kindly ask you sponsoring a NMU on this package. It fixes 3 RC-bugs
(#647709, #647743, #653627) and was crafted on a minimal-invasiv-basis.

 * Package name: drizzle
   Version : 2011.03.13-1.1
   Upstream Author : Drizzle Developers team
 * URL : http://www.drizzle.org/
 * License : GPL

command:
  dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/drizzle/drizzle_2011.03.13-1.1.dsc

To be as minimal-invasive as possible, this NMU does only address the RC
bugs, and not other things (like there are e.g some whitespaces in
debian/control etc, ...) Therefore it is still not linitian-clean.

In #653627 I announced my intention to NMU and asked the maintainer to
object, also CC'ed him again with this RFS, so I would propose to upload
it to the delayed queue. 

For #647709, please review debian/control, if the rules to exlude the
build-dependency on libaio-dev for the ports kfreebsd-* in
debian/control looks sane to you. I used those the very first time and I
also do not have a kfreebsd installed, so I'd be happier if someone
could put an extra pair of eyes on it. However, I used pdebuilder to
ensure that drizzle also compiles without this build-dependency.

The NMU fixes this 3 RC bugs:
 #647709 [src:drizzle] drizzle: unbuildable on kfreebsd-amd64 (but
previously built there)

#647743  [src:drizzle] drizzle: FTBFS on several architectures

I just orphaned as sponsor this package today, maybe your acknowledge by

in my postinst script I need to warn the user in case the script was

Re: How to warn the user with debconf

Hi Stefano,

in my postinst script I need to warn the user in case the script was
unable to remove a non empty directory. How can I do this and have a
lintian clean package? I thought to use a debconf note but lintian
issues possible-debconf-note-abuse warning.

Stefano
   

please have a look at the Developer's Reference (1). Why not issue
the error message when the error occurs?

The shortest way to a problem solution for you way may be an informal
mail to debian-l10n-english asking for a review of your debconf templates
and package description. Of course you can upload your package as is, but
this slows down the process. »Bubulle« will find your new debconf template
and propose a more formal process lasting up to three weeks.

Cheers,
   Martin

 When the file is distributed in the source package, yes, then it needs

 matters. Of course, your package can leave this file out. Teus.
 Ok, thank you very much.

In these cases please also note down, that the file is not used in your
