Bug#673087: RFS: the-powder-toy/78.1-1 [ITP] -- Physics sandbox game



Hello Benoit,

Thanks for reviewing my package, and I'm sorry about not committing the newest .orig.tar.bz2 in pristine-tar and pushing it. Upstream just released a new stable version today, and I've just committed the latest tarball to the 'pristine-tar' branch and pushed it, along with an updated Debian packaging, to [1]. I've fixed most of the lintian warnings that you had posted about, but I couldn't replicate these three warnings with running the command "lintian -I -E --pedantic ../the-powder-toy_78.1-0~ppa2.dsc ../the-powder-toy_78.1-0~ppa2_source.changes". Here are warnings I couldn't find:

  W: the-powder-toy source: unknown-field-in-dsc original-maintainer
  I: the-powder-toy source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
  I: the-powder-toy: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/games/the-powder-toy/powder targetted targeted

Yes, I did use the tag 'debian/78.1-0ppa2' (I just changed the version from '78.1-0~ppa2' to '78.1-1' and then submitted it) and still I couldn't replicate the results. As I said, I fixed all but one of the Lintian errors I could find in the latest version. Upstream uses a strange tagging name format: 'build<#>', where <#> is a number (currently 183), so I decided against creating a watch file for two reasons:

1. uscan would find a new tag and think it's stable when, in fact, it's a beta release
2. I don't version the package that way, and nor does upstream; we use '81.1', not '183'.

Since I've fixed all of the errors I could find and fix, should I make another upload to Mentors, or will you review the package as it is in [1]?

Thanks for your consideration.
