Dear Joachim,
It is very nice that you contacted Gundolf before adopting the Debian package.
I just uploaded the updated version from mentors.debian.net.
Here are a couple of minor comments on the package, that can be adressed in a
later upload.
- How about maintaining the source package in a VCS?
- Why is the cron script in /etc/cron.daily prefixed by ‘zz-’?
- The dual changelog / ChangeLog is quite confusing because they are both
Debian changelogs.
- ${shlibs:Depends} is not needed in debian/control.
- In README.Debian, “alle directories” should be “all directories”.
- The information about who packages backup2l in debian/copyright is redundant
with the changelog, and may be reomved if you wish so.
- You chose GPL version 3 for the packaging, but backup2l is GPL version 2 or
superior. If you appreciate the possibility of upgrading from version 2 to
3, how about adding an ‘or (at your option) any later version’ clause?
- Lastly, lintian found some bugs in the manpages. Since you are in contact
with Gundolf, this is a good opportunity to get then fixed upstream directly.
Have a nice day, and enjoy this end of year !
