Re: RFS: vim-subtitles, vim-srt, vim-sub, vim-mpsub



Well, time flies :-)

I changed the package now to a single binary package

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vim-subtitles/vim-subtitles_1.0-1.dsc

It looks much better to me now,
and maybe someone would sponsor it
or has some advice if the package is still
in a bad shape...

Cheers,

Sven

Okay, so here are my comments:

   - Looking at the content of your packages, I think it would make much
     more sense to have one source package (called vim-subtitles) produce
     the three binary packages (vim-srt, vim-sub and vim-mpsub) and the
     metapackage.

Commenting now on vim-srt only (I assume the other two are packaged
similarly, and they should end up being in the same source package
anyway):

   - debian/patches: I don't see the point of creating an upstream
     Makefile (there's no chance of having it integrated upstream, and
     you can achieve the same thing from debian/rules or even using
     debian/*.install).

   - debian/README.Debian: Wrap lines at 80 columns. I also think it
     should say "by default" instead of "per default".

   - debian/copyright: You have a GPL-2.0 license field (which I think
     should be called GPL-2 instead, but that's purely cosmetic) that
     says "version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
     version". I don't know what was upstream's intention, but you should
     figure it out and correct either the short name or the license text.

   - debian/control: I'm not sure why you depend on debhelper >= 8.0.0~,
     I think >= 8 is just fine.

   - I like the example file, but I'm not sure you should advise users to
     report bugs to your email address directly; better tell them to use
     Debian's BTS.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
