Seriously, do they not want people to bother doing this? Can anyone help with
any of this?
They are just missing fields from the control file but all the ones
marked E will prevent the package building I'd already corrected 3
errors when lintian gave me the feedback.
I'm working my way through the list now but this really is far more
complicated than it should need to be to get a simple perl script
published. The first E entry - debian-files-list-in-source is not
something I create but something that is auto created during the
packaging process, is that right? That's what my research seems to suggest.
The worst thing about this is that I muddle my way through an
incomprehensible process and submit, then have to wait for days before
finding out what I did wrong. Then resubmit and wait for days again. It
could literally take months to get this published at this rate!
