Hi Harald! > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "qmpdclient". ... > Version : 1.0.9.git.20081230-1 Is 1.0.9 already released by upstream? (Seems like not) If not, please note: 1.0.9.git.20081230 is greater than 1.0.9 (check the --compare-versions option in dpkg). So, if upstream releases a stable 1.0.9, you will have a problem with the version number... you should use 1.0.9~git* (with tilde) instead of 1.0.9.git* If 1.0.9 is already released, is more common to use: 1.0.9+git* (with plus)... Also, some people uses the VCS revision instead of the date, because upstream can do many commits in the same day, so a date is not always a good reference... It depends on how active is your upstream, I suppose... but please consider it too. > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qmpdclient/qmpdclient_1.0.9.git.20081230-1.dsc * I'm not a DD so I can't sponsor uploads, but I tried your package, and it FTBFS in my pbuilder :( # Add here commands to clean up after the build process. /usr/bin/make clean make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/qmpdclient-1.0.9.git.20081230' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/qmpdclient-1.0.9.git.20081230' make: *** [clean] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package -> Aborting with an error It fails for the first clean, because there is not a Makefile yet. It builds if you try to compile twice in a row. To fix it, I just changed: $(MAKE) clean into: [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean and the package builds fine now in my pbuilder and it passes the piuparts tests too :) * Check src/libmpdclient.*, you are missing an entry for them in your debian/copyright. * Check the package using the -iI options of lintian and, as you are packaging a snapshot, "please consider adding a debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation." * Uhm, I noted your ITP is for qmpdclient-ne, but you are packaging it as qmpdclient... Is this OK mentors? > Kind regards Happy new year! Ruben
