Even better! > W: dream source: changelog-should-mention-nmu It thinks the upload is an NMU as the changelog entry author doesn't match the fields in debian/control. In debian/control you should have: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maintainer: Debian Hamradio Maintainers <debian-hams@lists.debian.org> Uploaders: Julian Cable <jcable@users.sourceforge.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This will then match the changelog entry. You can also change the changelog entry and the uploaders field to be your Yahoo email address too if you prefer that one, but the maintainer must be set to the team so it get included in our overviews. > W: dream source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 2.1.1-1 This will disappear once you've fixed the d/control fields and d/changelog matches and it no longer believes it's an NMU. > W: dream source: missing-field-in-dep5-copyright license (paragraph at line 23) > W: dream source: missing-field-in-dep5-copyright copyright (paragraph at line 23) > W: dream source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2+ (paragraph at line 23) It looks like you've got all the things in the DEP-5 file, but not got them in the right order. See as a suggestion (which you could just use if it looks right to you): http://paste.debian.net/130932/ It took me a while to get the hang of these. > W: dream source: debian-watch-file-should-use-sf-redirector line 20 I've not had anything on SourceForge so far, but it's good to use the redirectors if the QA team provide them. You can see a template for these here: https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch#SourceForge > E: dream: description-starts-with-package-name > As far as I can tell, the lintian package description starts with "Lintian". The short description should be a short description. Just drop the "Dream is" as that's implied for that field. This is one of the policy things where it is the way it is because it is and it's nice to have everything the same. > So it looks like I'm not setting the version right somehow and I've not > got the copyright correct. I don't know if the watch file is useful or > not. The fixes above should get rid of all your warnings and errors. The watch file is definitely useful as it's then really easy to see when new upstreams have been released but not packaged. Thanks for your work on this, Iain. -- e: irl@fsfe.org w: iain.learmonth.me x: irl@jabber.fsfe.org t: +447875886930 c: MM6MVQ g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49
