Re: wsjtx_1.0.r3323-2_amd64.changes REJECTED
Your email arrived just in time. I am just now trying to package wsjtx
1.1 (i.e. the 3rd version to be packaged).

The upstream source supplies wsjt.ico (wsjt was the original branch
that wsjtx was derived from).
I used inkscape to make wsjtx.png from wsjt.ico
I do not know where to put new binary files within a package, so I put
it in debian/wsjtx.png and then debian/install puts it in
/usr/share/pixmaps/

This URL was helpful, but when I use the hardening-wrapper approach,
wsjtx crashes immediately on startup with a seg fault. I am unsure how
to proceed.

OK, I assume you meant literally "BSD-2-clause".

OK, 3 of the copyright entries have been corrected, and the 4th file
is no longer present in the latest version.

It is a sample input data sound file, so that the wsjtx application
can be tested without actually acquiring new data from a radio feeding
the soundcard. The author did not check in the .wav file to the svn
repository, but he wanted me to include it in the package. I do not
know where to put new binary files within a package, so I put it in
debian/130418_1742.wav and then debian/install puts it in
/usr/share/wsjtx/.wsjtx/save/Samples/ and it is later copied to
~/.wsjtx/save/Samples/ where the wsjtx application can select it.

I appreciate your help.
