Hi I am not yet a DD so I can't sponsor your package sorry. But maybe I can give you some advice for improving the packaging. OK there are some issues: 1. Well you provide a native debian package as I can see. I don't think that your package should be a native one, although you are the upstream. You package can be used in various distributions (of course also in Debian) so it would be a non-native package. I think you are providing a Debian directory in the upstream version. Think about that point and maybe delete the debian-dir for the official version and during the debianization you can create the debian-dir. Then please make sure that the diff (which will be created during the build of a non-native package) includes only the debian-dir. 2. I think you don't need libqt3-mt-dev as a build-depends, because kdelibs4-dev depends against libqt3-mt-dev. I haven't checked the other build-depends. 3. In the control file you should improve the layout of the description (have a look at other debian packages). 4. The short description shouldn't contain of big letters (because the short description is not a full sentence). 5. The changelog entry should close the ITP report. 6. The current standards version is 3.6.2 7. You don't need usr/sbin in the dirs. 8. There is a rpath (as lintian told me). See the lintian warning: W: rkward: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/rkward /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib/R/lib/ I think you can directly fix it (upstream) ;) BTW you can run lintian *.deb to see if there are problems with your package (do debuild and it is done automatically :) ). For more information use lintian -i 9. A manpage is missing ;) 10. The package contains CVS-dirs, I think you should remove them. Now I stop checking here, because I am right busy, sorry. Please fix these issues (or what till someone told me that I am wrong ;) ) and then write a mail. Anyway thank you for your contribution to Debian and for your software, you are always welcome. Greetings Steffen
