Hello,
I am not a DD and thus can not sponsor you. However I had a look at
your package.
- It fails to build in a clean chroot. At the beginning of the build it
complains about missing headers :
touch symlinks
g++ -MMD -Wall -g -I/usr/X11R6/include -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -DVERSION="\"1.4.66\"" -c -o shell_main.o shell_main.cc
shell_main.cc:20:21: warning: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
shell_main.cc:21:28: warning: gdk/gdkkeysyms.h: No such file or directory
shell_main.cc:22:22: warning: gdk/gdkx.h: No such file or directory
In file included from shell_main.cc:35:
shell_main.h:25: error: expected initializer before '*' token
shell_main.h:42: warning: 'typedef' was ignored in this declaration
You probably need to adjust Build-Dependencies to include libgtk2-dev
instead ok libgtk2.
- debian/rules: I believe it can be simplified if you use the "dh
$@" technique. "rm ChangeLog || true" should be changed to "rm -f
Changelog" as the former ignores all errors, not only "this file
does not exist".
- debian/changelog should mention that it is a new package and that
this upload would close an ITP. The "3.0 (quilt)" format is not
relevant here as it has not changed.
As I couldn't build the package, I can't help you more, but I
encourage you to use a build system such as cowbuilder, that isolates
the package from your host system.
Hope that helps,
