The other warnings need to be dealt with though. In general, read the *.ex files, decide if you need them and if you don;t delete them. If you do then rename them to remove the .ex extensio. Is there any particular reason the package build-depends on "c-compiler"? gcc provides c-compiler and build-essential depends on gcc, so a c compiler should always be installed on any system looking to build the package. The manpage isn't quite like a traditional Unix manpage, but that's not a huge issue really...just something you might want to look into at some point. If you fix the *.ex warnings and either remove the c-compiler dependency or provide a rationale for it, I'll sponsor the upload for you. Cheers, Stephen
