Thanks for stepping up as new maintainer. The correct procedure to address the bug 611062 is to put a new title "ITA: ..." instead of "O: ...". Moreover your pacakge doesn't use dpkg v3 source format. Please switch to that. Otherwise Lintian complains about: P: pysvn source: direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system Source/setup_configure.py Please convert that to a patch in debian/patches/ with dpkg v3 source style and make sure the patche(s) are forwarded upstream. The changes to Source/setup_configure.py seem mostly ok (from a first look) but should be known to upstream anyway - and preferably fixed upstream with their next release. One more patch that you may want to bring forth would be fixing #470526 and/or discussing this with upsteam. Typos that may further be worth fixing: I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_6.so propery property I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_6.so overriden overridden I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_6.so specifed specified I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_7.so propery property I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_7.so overriden overridden I: python-svn: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysvn/_pysvn_2_7.so specifed specified Your debian/copyright is not in DEP-5 format. Please update that. Most importantly Import/pycxx-6.2.2/ seems to be missing entirely in the debian/copyright! Final remarks by lintian: I: python-svn: package-contains-empty-directory usr/share/pyshared/pysvn/ I: python-svn: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration Both of which I think should be easy enough to fix. As you've discussed joining DPMT please make sure to add the Vcs headers to debian/control once the package is moved there. Please make sure the copyright file is corrected and throw a new version into mentors. Should be fine then. Thanks! -- Best regards, Kilian
