You should retitle that bug to ITA:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l3
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#retitle
I think is done: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596605
It updates the packaging to 3.9.1 standard and compatibility 7
The package can be found on http://www.kix.es/src/wmaker/wmmixer/
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Here is a review:
At this stage of the release cycle, the changes you have made should
be targeted at experimental instead of unstable.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg00000.html
Ok, I moved it to experimental
You should document all the changes you've made in debian/changelog.
Done
Your source package contains dpatch cruft, please remove it.
Done (I think)
No need to add blank lines to debian/control
I removed the last line (I spent many time with an error when I removed
the line in the middle of the file :-( )
With dpkg-source v3 source packages you do not need to build-depend on
quilt or include quilt.make in debian/rules nor have patch/unpatch
targets in debian/rules.
Done
The watch file that you added consists only of comments.
Yes, I cannot find the actual repository. I will use kix.es (my host)
for this.
You need to adjust the package priority:
http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=unstable&package=wmmixer
Moved to extra
The package fails to build on hurd-i386, looks like the configure
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=wmmixer
Yes, the package failed in the previous compilation. I make a patch
including __GNU__ and __GNU_HURD__ to solve this problem, but I cannot
test if now is correct.
The website listed in debian/copyright is now a spam site, please
remove/fix that. The other upstream websites I can find make me think
this is abandoned upstream too. It would be great if you could find
out more, contact upstream and if they are no longer working on it,
take over development of it.
Changelog done. Moved now to kix.es. Yes, the application is a bit old,
I need to talk with more people interested in wmaker/docks to create a
new repo.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards.
kix
