RFS: mother
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package mother. * Package name: mother Version : 0.6.4-r4 Upstream Author : Federico Tomassini - Efphe [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.dbmother.org/ * License : BSD Section : python It builds these binary packages: python-mother - Mother is an Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection Description:Mother is an Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection Mother is a Python module that hides SQL syntax and gives you a set of intelligent classes and methods. By `intelligent` we mean that the classes are able to understand autonomously various situations. Think of Mother as an Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection. When dealing with ORMs you usually need configuration files, tables, fields and keys declarations, but not with Mother because Mother knows the database structure herself. The package appears to be lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mother - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mother/mother_0.6.4-r4.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards Antonio De Luci signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The long description could be reformatted, so that you leave empty lines, or keep everything in a single paragraph, instead of just going back to the beginning of the next line. The Depends: on psycopg2 looks buggy. Shouldn't it be python-psycopg2 instead? It builds these binary packages: python-mother - Mother is an Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection Description:Mother is an Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection Don't write “foo - foo is a bar” in the short description. “Object Relational Mapper with…” looks better (although I'm not a native English speaker anyway). The package appears to be lintian clean. No. | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/mother-0.6.4$ lintian -i -I | ../mother_0.6.4-r4_i386.changes | wc -l | 31 Why is the revision -r4 anyway? Should be just -4. Also, your diff is empty. Shouldn't you be building a Debian native package if you're including your debian/ directory in the original tarball? Anyway, I'll recommend *not* doing so, and keeping debian/ outside of the tarball, not building a Debian native package. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois pgpy4SWxjKO3p.pgp Description: PGP signature

RFS: mother
I have followed your advice, please check the new package. It is aligned with the new revision upstream (0.6.4-r5), and I added the revision debian (0.6.4-r5-1). Thanks for your availability It builds these new binary packages: python-mother - Object Relational Mapper with strong introspection The package appears to be lintian clean.

Cyril suggested that you use the dedicated field, which means: Source: mother Section: python [...] Standards-Version: 3.7.3 Homepage: http://example.com/ * The long description in debian/rules (ie. the text beginning Mother is a Python module...) seems to contain a few spelling, gramatical and formatting errors. I would also suggest you split the description into a couple of paragraphs. This is possible by: |Description: foo bar baz | First paragraph. |. | Second paragraph * Should you really be depending on python-psycopg2 | python-apsw? I would guess that these should be Recommends instead. * README.Debian seems to contain instructions on how to build the Debian package, which seems somewhat superfluous and not-very-useful for users. I would suggest completely removing this file. * debian/copyright: Please don't anti-spam email addresses, it makes searching extremely difficult.
