Thanks for the feedback. I did the linitian check with an old quantal version.... My bad ;). out- of-date-copyright-format-uri and out-of-date-standards-version should be fixed now.
See here (needed to update version number so the ppa allows me to upload it, still old number in the bzr branch): https://launchpad.net/~sao/+archive/ubuntu- testing/+files/diodon_1.0.0-0ubuntu2.dsc The issue source-contains-waf-binary though is a little bit trickier: It seems that there are some issues with the WAF developers and the Debian developer disagreeing on how source code should be built with waf and what is allowed to be included in a source tar ball. See discussion here http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00714.html Debian then decided to not allow waf binaries in source tarballs anymore but eventually also not shipping a waf package either. As I understand does this basically mean that all upstream project using waf won't be able to being accepted as a package to Debian anymore. And Diodon which is using waf as well would fall under this restriction as well. I was searching for a official statement of Ubuntu whether they want to follow this restriction as well, but could not find any. What I found though are some packages in the universe repository which are also build with waf and actually therefore have the same issue (e.g. hamster-applet or midori). So the question here is whether Diodon can still be accepted into the repository even though using waf? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808464 Title: [needs-packaging] diodon -- Clipboard manager for GNOME and Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/808464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
