Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.2-3 of my package
"ooo-thumbnailer".
It builds these binary packages:
ooo-thumbnailer - thumbnailer for OpenOffice.org documents
I'm the upstream author. The work is licensed under the GPL v2 or
higher. My motivation in maintaining this package is to see
OpenOffice.org documents, spreadsheets and presentations thumbnailed
alongside PDFs. Windows has this feature, why shouldn't Debian? All it
takes is a simple bash script.
I followed Jakub Wilk's advice and improved the package since 0.2-1.
I've removed build dependencies on Python, removed unofficial fields
from debian/control, and removed a redundant dependency on
graphics-imagemagick-compat. The package appears to be lintian clean.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/ooo-thumbnailer
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget

Presuming you meant
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/ooo-thumbnailer/ooo-thumbnailer_0.2-3.dsc
and continuing with review...
Well, it builds clean in a pbuilder! Pretty simple package. Let me try
it....
I installed it, and it doesn't seem to thumbnail my spreadsheet in
Nautilus. Maybe I need to restart Nautilus? /me tries that
Oh SWEET! There we go. (-:
Can you make a note explaining that in README.Debian?
Also, I'm just wondering: why did you remove the dependency on "bash"?
Maybe I'm being silly, but I figure it does really depend on it.
(Other Debian mentors -- is it okay to upload a package whose version is
0.2-3 or 0.2-4 as the first Debian upload? Or should we instead rewrite
history and pretend this is 0.2-1 when it's ready to go?)
So far, so good -- keep me posted about those two questions, and once I'm
satisfied, I'll foist this upon the NEW queue.

I'm having a BIG BANG THEORY!!
