Re: Please sponsor my game bug=923180
Hello Markus,
The only thing I have left is figuring out how to create an appstream
file and how to integrate it. All others things are done however,
After uploading the source, lintian complains with the following
error.
"Bug #923180 does not belong to this package"
Is this normal?
Does not having an appstream file pause this process?
Thanks,
Pedro

You can even use debhelper 12
in Debian unstable. It works for me just
fine. It is recommended to use an up-to-date
Debian unstable/sid system
for development
because older versions or derivatives like Ubuntu
don't
provide all the features you need.
Compat level 11 or 12 are not
available in
Debian 9.
The package looks
much better now and I could play the game for the
first time.

Please note
that NC (= non commercial) licenses are not approved and
you
must replace the content if you want to

Is there really a specific OpenGameArt license?
The OGA-BY-3.0 looks
similar to
CC-BY-3.0.

The initial changelog should

You can update the changelog
timestamp by running dch -r.

There is nice tool called wrap-and-sort in the
devscripts package. As
the name implies it
tidies your debian directory.
wrap-and-sort -sa

The short description should
be
Description: 2D
platformer game inspired by Infinite Mario
Here goes the long description.
Currently the long description is
incomplete.
You duplicate
the Homepage field.
Section
should be games not X11.
desktop.file:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Infinite Tux.
Terminal=false
Name=Infinite
Tux.
Exec=/usr/bin/infinitetux
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/doc/infinitetux/icon.png
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Game
The Comment should be different than the Name.
I would change it to
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Game;ArcadeGame;
Keywords=game;arcade;platform;
Icon=infinitetux
Exec=infinitetux
Name=Infinitetux
Comment=2D
platformer game inspired by Infinite Mario
There is no need for absolute
paths and you should install the icon into
the hicolor icon directory
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps where
it will be detected automatically.
Bonus points if you create an
appstream file as upstream too and install
it into /usr/share/metainfo
You can remove all maven.* files and
infinitetux.poms because you don't
use
Maven to build the package.
There is still one Lintian warning:
manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry
If you want to see all
warnings including the experimental ones, then I
suggest to use
info=yes
display-info=yes
display-experimental=yes
pedantic=yes
show-overrides=yes
color=auto
verbose=yes
in
~/.config/lintian/lintianrc
We are getting closer!
Regards,
Markus
