Your upload of the package 'paflib' to mentors.debian.net was successful. Others can now see it. The URL of your package is: http://mentors.debian.net/package/paflib The respective dsc file can be found at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/paflib/paflib_0.2.0-1.dsc If you do not yet have a sponsor for your package you may want to go to http://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto/paflib and set the Seeking a sponsor option to highlight your package on the welcome page. You can also send an RFS (request for sponsorship) to the debian-mentors mailing list. Your package page will give your suggestions on how to send that mail. Good luck in finding a sponsor!

Hi, W: paflib source: changelog-should-mention-nmu if you are nmuing it you need to mention the Non-maintainer upload in changelog. dch --nmu (or similar) does it for you W: paflib source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.2.0-1 same here, 0.2.0-1 is not an NMU number, 0.2.0-1.1 is (nmus adds a .N to Debian revision) https://wiki.debian.org/NonMaintainerUpload P: paflib source: no-dep5-copyright https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ P: libpaf-dsc0: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL GPL means nothing. It might be GPL-1,2,3,1+,2+,3+ or whatever. now GPL symlinks to GPL-3, tomorrow it might refer to GPL-4, and on old systems still on GPL-2. The user should know the correct license, not the license linked on its system. X: libpaf-dsc0: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpaf-dsc.so.0.0.2 a shared library can't call exit. Simple as it is. I: libpaf-dsc0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpaf-dsc.so.0.0.2 e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles P: libpaf-dev: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL P: libpaf-ebb0: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL X: libpaf-ebb0: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpaf-ebb.so.0.0.2 I: libpaf-ebb0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpaf-ebb.so.0.0.2 dupes I: libpaf-ebb0: unused-override no-upstream-changelog you have an override that isn't actually used cheers, G.
