Hi Jelmer! For bzr-avahi, there is a lot of things in diff.gz. I think there is a packaging problem here, like using an unsynced orig.tar.gz. You should only have modifications concerning debian/ directory in diff.gz. I don't quite understand your answer to James Henstridge about 0.2.0 version. Where did you put your fixed version? In debian/compat, you should put 5. In debian/control, you should also add a Vcs-Browser field. I suppose that there is some web interface to browse the source for Bazaar as well. I think that most things in Build-Depends are not needed for the clean rule, so you can move them in Build-Depends-Indep (and just keep cdbs and debhelper). To avoid a lintian warning, you should provide a debian/watch file with just a comment about, for example, the URL to upstream repository. For bzr-stats, there is no statement about the license and I think that the GPL mention in setup.py is a bit weak. You should arrange with upstream to ask him to add a proper copyright statement in the distributed files. Apart from the diff.gz which is OK, the same remarks as for bzr-avahi apply. Well, this may be a bit late since some packages have already been sponsored, but since all those plugins are rather small, you could bundle them in a single package (like gnus-bonus-el for example). This will be a bit harder to follow upstream since there is no mechanism to track several upstreams but this will ease your work in finding a sponsor, I think and will allow you to ship more plugins once you will get an upload with DM field enabled. I am not sure this is something encouraged or something to avoid. Maybe some people will give better advices here about this. -- panic("Attempted to kill the idle task!"); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/kernel/exit.c
