Re: Request for NEAT packaging review

[Ole Streicher <olebole@debian.org>]

Hi Roger,

thank you for preparing the package. I have a few comments:

* debian/copyright: Document the copyright of all files, not just the
  debian ones.

* debian/control:
  - The section should be "science", not "misc".
  - Could you provide a little longer description?

* the .orig file in the "pristine-tar" branch should be called
  neat_1.9.orig.tar.gz, not neat_1.90.orig.tar.gz

* Propagate FFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and enable debug symbols. They are
  stripped afterwards from the package, but will go into a separate
  package to enable debugging if needed. Also, the optimization should
  be set by the Debian FFLAGS unless there is a special reason not to do
  so.

* Since you provide example wit the sources, please install them.

* Remove the empty file debian/docs.

Best regards

Ole
