Dear Muammar I will sponsor your package. It builds on a AMD64 with pbuilder. Lintian does not complain. However, you need to fix some things first:
Firstly, I'm very glad because you will be my sponsor. Thank you a lot. :-)
- Close bug 335006 as you are adopting the package (in the changelog). Also note in the changelog that you have now the maintainership. - Also note in the changelog what other changes you have done: e.g. renaming of the lib packages. I would not recommend to do it since you have to take care of the upgrades with Provides/Conflicts (you did not do this). I am not sure if your naming is really good: scalapack1-mpich -> libscalapack-mpich1 Please read the Debian Library Packaging Guide: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html - Why do the .so links now point to the static libraries?
I'm going to check and do all that you suggested me. I think that the more critical part is the fact that I changed the name of the lib packages. I'm reading again the Debian Library Packaging Guide to investigate it. I changed It, because it was the only way in which I didn't get any lintian errors. Attached in this message there is a copy of the lintian report when the name of the libraries wasn't changed. I installed scalapack on my machine and I didn't get any error. What do you suggest me? because lintian gives warnings If I write the former names.
