Re: RFS: yade-0.60

[Anton Gladky <gladky.anton@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have fixed that. But I have a question about filing ITP-bug. I have used reportbug tool for that, but I did not receive any emails about creating the bug.

I also tried to do it from another machine, thinking that there were some problems with MTA, but I still did not get any emails. What is the usual time after submitting bug and getting the corresponding email?

Thank you.

Anton

That requires dedication. I'm not sure, but maybe DDs from debian-science
might be interested to support this endeavour.

Beside that I had a short look at general non-technical things:
* The changelog doesn't close an ITP bug.
* egrep -ir 'copyright' reveals that your debian/copyright doesn't reflect
 all the contents of the package.
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
 is a good starting point.

And please feed the package to the latest version of lintian (e.g. not the one
from Lenny, in this case use the backport), you'll find some more things to take
care of.

HTH,
Sven
