Re: RFS: wallpaper-tray (updated package)



Hey Vincent,

I just uploaded a new version of the package. Although I didn't change the version number from the previous version because I figured it wouldn't really matter since the previous package never went into the repository. See below for more details.

Hi Guido!

You  switched to  a patch  management system.  Good point.  However, the
patch  is  unreadable. I  suppose  that  you  needed to  rerun  autoconf
stuff. In this case, just  patch Makefile.am or configure.ac and depends
on autotools to generate all this stuff. This way, you keep the patch to
the minimal size.
Thanks, fixed it.


You should look  at the list of the opened bugs  for this package. Maybe
this  new upstream package  fixes some  of them.  You should  also close
#326671.
I'll do so.


AUTHORS and MAINTAINERS do not  contain any new information with respect
to debian/copyright. I think that you can safely not ship them.
I got rid of MAINTAINERS but I kept AUTHORS because automake sees it as a required file.


You depend  on debhelper 7 but  do not use  any feature of it.  Stick to
debhelper 5, this will ease the work of backporters.
Thanks, fixed it.


I am not sure,  but since you ship a gconf schema,  you need to register
it. I think dh_gconf can do it.
You were right, fixed it now.

Thanks for all the help!

Kind regards,
Guido Loupias
