RE: RFS: cr3

["Vadim Lopatin" <buggins@fromru.com>]

Hello,

I've fixed lintinan pedantic findings, changed target to unstable, wrote
machine-readable copyright.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cr3
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cr3/cr3_3.0.43-12.dsc

> * code compilation complains about warnings, some of them can be
serious (it is up to you)
I've checked warnings and found nothing serious. Will clean them up later.

I have some questions.
Some parts of source package are really not used for debian build (e.g.
wxWidgets frontend, Android frontend, snapshots of zlib, libjpeg, libpng,
libfreetype libraries).
Is it ok to leave them in source package?
Should I add licensing details to debian/copyright for zlib, libjpeg,
libpng, libfreetype libraries? (not used in debian build)




Best regards,
   Vadim

Hi, Vadim,

I am not a DD, but maybe my advices will help you to make your package
better:

* it is better to create machine-readable copyright-file according to
DEP-5 http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/
* changelog field says, that you want to upload your package to lucid,
but you should change it to "unstable" or "experimental" (you are
uploading to Debian, not directly yo Ubuntu)
* watch-file has a lot of commented code
* source package contains no warnings and errors. But when you use
lintian with "-IE --pedantic" flags after building a package, there
are some of them:
    lintian -IE --pedantic cr3_3.0.43-11_i386.changes
    P: cr3: no-upstream-changelog
    I: cr3: package-contains-empty-directory usr/share/cr3/docs/
    I: cr3: package-contains-empty-directory usr/share/cr3/skins/default/
    I: cr3: spelling-error-in-binary ./usr/bin/cr3 avaliable available
* code compilation complains about warnings, some of them can be
serious (it is up to you)


Cheers,
Anton Gladky
