Bug#693495: RFS: wmtime/1.0b2-13 2012-11-20 13:32



Hi Doug,

The file wmtime_1.0b2.orig.tar.gz at mentors is not identical to the one in
Debian.  What is debian/0001-Packaging-for-Debian.patch for ? The changelog
entry of 1.0b2-13 "Rebuilding source package correctly" is not useful if you
didn't change the source package.  The homepage in the "Homepage" field is not
useful since it states that http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wmtime.html is the
(home) website, and the version available for download is older than the newest
already in Debian.  I suggest to not use this website in the "Homepage" field,
and also not in debian/watch.  Using 7 in debian/compat is quite low nowadays.
Some changes are not mentioned in debian/changelog, for example replacing
dh_clean by dh_prep.  Isn't it better to use a higher debian/compat number so
that debian/rules can be simplified instead ? I suggest to add the fixes for
bugs 639626 and 661843 in debian/patches.

Regards,

Bart Martens
