Re: RFS: giac - computer algebra system with nice GUI



Hi Carlos,

I had a look at your package.
I found some issues before I try to build it:

Carlos Enrique Carleos Artime <carleos@uica.info>:
> * Package name : giac

> * License      : GPL (separate package for non-free documents)
!!!!

> It builds these binary packages:

I think, you have to split this non-free docu part from the main source 
package into a non-free source package, because the source package in 
main must not contain any non-free stuff.
Or did I miss something?

If you repack upstream source, you could also remove his debian dirs to 
have a more readable *.diff.gz. Perhaps you could ask him to release a 
Debian-free tarball. It is better for you as maintainer and for other 
distros.

debian/rules:
- remove unneeded dh_* calls
- Why are there two additional rules.* files?

debian/copyright:
- contains not all copyright holders (inspect ALL sorce files for 
    copyright statements)

What is "Pari support" (in README.Debian)? You could explain it.


Thats all for this first turn.


Kindly regards,
Erik
