I always double check dependencies, copyright, changelog, bugs reported in BTS and LP, then I try to build the packages in a clean pbuilder environment before requesting a sync. I *really* do not like when my sync/merge/debdiff are rejected for stupid and predictable reasons :-) That's why there are still 13 packages pending in that list for which I did not request a sync. For example, embassy-domainatrix and embassy-domalign FTBFS, dialign-t-doc has licensing issues and could not even land in Multiverse, octave3.0 has a transition in progress and so on. Some of the syncs I requested so far are in multiverse now. I don't like that, but at least we can say that Ubuntu user can install and use such programs. -- ubuntu-motu-science mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu-science
