* it should be a non-native package (format 3.0 (quilt)) * should use a released upstream version for easier support and maintainance, not a daily code snapshot * it fails to build from source in current development release (quantal) * the packages are marked for i386 architecture only, this is a mistake. They should either target any (C / C++ compiled programs) or all (architecture independant files e.g. documentation / shell scripts / python etc.) * source package alone has many lintian warnings: W: ecere source: native-package-with-dash-version W: ecere source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends ecere-doc W: ecere source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends libecere W: ecere source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends ecere-sdk W: ecere source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends ecere-samples W: ecere source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends ecere-extras W: ecere source: ancient-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.9.3)
* source package includes many, many source copies of libraries, these should be stripped and software *must* linked against system wide libpng, zlib and etc. * debian/copyright looks incomplete. It should list the copyright and license of every single source file. Please see: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ I couldn't review binaries. This is just the beginning, but the PPA package is not ready for inclusion in Ubuntu or Debian. At least I will not sponsor this.
