Bug#742309: RFS: libvarnam/3.1.3-1

2014-03-23 Thread Eric L.
Hi,
the issue is that the first line of the description (the short description) 
doesn't give any information, it just paraphrases the package name and version 
(I know that libvarnam/3.1.3-1 is a library and that it's about Varnam with a 
3).
Something else: the mentor page is full of lintian warnings, you will have to 
fix those before any DD (I'm not one BTW) will sponsor your package. You may 
ask specific questions on the list on how to fix a specific one but in general 
the linked descriptions are quite helpful.
Cheers, Eric

Hello Eric,

Thanks for checking out the project. Where should I improve the
project description? The debain control files has proper description
about the project. Where else should I change?

Thanks

 Hi,
 I would recommend to improve the short description. The homepage
states
 cross platform transliterator for Indian languages which sounds
more
 informative to me.

 I just released 0.3.3 with fixed suggested in this thread.

Looks good to me, feel free to retitle and reuse this RFS.

Note that your branches don't seem to have been pushed to Git yet,
while the tags have been.

Bug#742077: RFS: vcmi/0.95-1 [ITP]

Another remark:

I don't think that the “After installing this package, …” instructions 
belong in the package description. I'd rather put them in README.Debian.


But if you decide to keep them, the enumerated list should be indented 
by two spaces (see Policy §5.6.13).

Re: RFS: cl-launch (updated package)

2014-03-23 Thread Faré
Dear Debian Mentors and Debian Lispers,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 4.0.3-1
of my package cl-launch.

It builds these binary packages:
cl-launch  - uniform frontend to running Common Lisp code from the shell

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-launch
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-launch/cl-launch_4.0.3-1.dsc

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

Kind regards,

their own amusement — at our expense?
