Hi, I've got the answer from the author of homebank: " This is an old metatag outdated from the time I first write the doc in Amiga (there were first in amigaguide format and i used a tool to convert it to html which added this meta...) I will remove this. In waiting you can do it also and re-submit to debian, here is what i've done: cd homebank/doc find ./ -type f | xargs perl -pi -w -e 's/<meta name="Generator" content="GuideML 2.2">//g' and to check grep 'GuideML' *.html " I know that I can't modify the orig tarball by myself, but what do you think if I add a note about this mail in README.Debian or in another file? cheers, francesco Il giorno lun, 03/09/2007 alle 21.14 +0100, Neil Williams ha scritto: > homebank was the subject of an RFS some time ago and had problems with > non-GPL licenced SVG images (which, I admit, I completely missed). > > These were fixed and I uploaded a new upstream version provided by the > maintainer but it was rejected because there is no source for the HTML > documentation. > > " > rejected, the source of doc/*.html is missing.
