Unfortunatly I cannot sponsor.
But I've took a look at mentors.d.n and saw that there is a lintian
error. Maybe you want to fix that, cause thats the first thing many
people take a look at :-)
There are also some other lintian messages which are either easy to fix
or should be silenced (but that depends a little on the sponsor)
Taking a more close look on the package:
- The VCS-* fields in d/control are for the *Debian* package repository,
not for upstream (see Policy 5.6.26)
- d/rules is in verbose mode. Would it make sense to convert it to short
debhelper format?
d/changelog: You should have only one entry -- as Debian-Versions 1 to
5 have been never uploaded. So you should package as Version 0.9.1-1 not
as 0.9.1-5. Generally, you should describe *how* you fixed smth with a
little explanation (*why*). For example:
"Remove linitan errors"? Which errors? How did you fix it?
(This applies also to the other entries. Another example is the
Standard version. What did you need to change? If nothing, note that
too.
- (nitpick) There is a blank line in d/*-extra.install
- as python is not "my" language: Is it possible to support multiarch
with this package? (I saw at least one *.so not installed into an
multiarch directory; alternatively I'm wrong here -- see my python
disclaimer)
Stopping here :)
