Bug#717995: RFS: rawdog/2.18-1 [ITA]]
Hallo Adam,
thanks for your work :) I think the package would be fine for upload and
a great improvment over the current package in the archives. But I am
not a DD and I cannot judge the code quality, as my knowledge on pyhton
is very limited.
But maybe some DD on mentors sees this mail as inspiration to steps up
and upload it... As a user, I would appreciate it.
One very minor thong: It seems you have the packaging stuff in a git
repository (what I like very much), so you might want to add the
appropriate VCS-* fields into your debian/control.
There was also some discussion in the thread about managing it via the
python-apps-team. In this case it would be advantageous to have the git
on some more public service, like alioth. (however, from my own
experience, it is hard to get an account there. So I definitely would
not see that as a blocking point).
Best regards,
coldtobi
