I'm happy to sponsor trash-cli. However, it's been a while since you
sent this RFS and two things have happened: new standards-version and
the package has been removed from the archive[0]. I tried to prevent it
but it was already too late :(
[0] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662058
So, this package should go through NEW again to get back to the
archive. Before I upload it, I'd like you to fix some issues:
- Put yourself as maintainer, you are now the new maintainer.
- Create an ITP bug and close it in the changelog.
- Read the upgrade list for the new standards and update
standards-version saying what (if any) changes you had to do.
- Change X-python-version to 2.6 (from the README from upstream)
- Have you considered sending fix_trash-restore_command.patch and
fix_man_path.patch upstream?
- Can you add an example to the volume-of(1) man page? After
reading it, I had no idea what volume-of was.
- The package fails to build twice in a row because
trash_cli.egg-info is not removed in dh_clean.
- lintian complains that debian/copyright refers to LGPL, but
the LGPL is not described in the copyright file. There should be
a "License:" line describing the LGPL, similar to the one that
describes GPL-2+
- Consider using a vcs to maintain the debian/ Upstream uses git,
you could use git-buildpackage (this is just a suggestion, but it
will make life easier for you and me)
Thanks,
Javi
