Bug#679344: RFS: bzr-email/0.0.1~bzr58-1 [ITA]
Hi KURASHIKI Satoru,
As I commented earlier for your package at mentors uploaded there on 2012-06-28
00:14, detailed information on how the repackaged source was obtained, and on
how this can be reproduced should be provided in debian/copyright.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz
I found this in debian/copyright :
Source: branch from http://launchpad.net/bzr-email and hand-packed
by "tar cf - | gzip -9".
That's not really "detailed information". I figured out that it means this :
bzr branch lp:bzr-email
rm -r bzr-email/.bzr
rm bzr-email/.bzrignore
mv bzr-email bzr-email_0.0.1~bzr58
tar cf bzr-email_0.0.1~bzr58.orig.tar bzr-email_0.0.1~bzr58
gzip -9 bzr-email_0.0.1~bzr58.orig.tar
But then I saw that launchpad supports downloading a tarball for a given
revision :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr/bzr-email/trunk/revision/58
So, I suggest to simply use that in debian/copyright.
The years of the copyright notices in debian/copyright need an update. See for
example the years in emailer.py.
I see that some parts of debian/copyright were removed. Intentional ? It's
not mentioned in debian/changelog.
For completeness you could also mention in debian/changelog the changes to the
Vcs-fields in debian/control.
Regards,
Bart Martens
