thanks


Hi Dariusz.

Please:

1. d/changelog: add an explanation about why your removed the -dfsg.
Please, see the field 'Source' in d/copyright header.

2. d/control: in 'Package: libircclient-dev', remove 'Pre-Depends:
${misc:Pre-Depends}'.

3. d/copyright:
    - Fix the 'Source' field in header.
    - See it[1] and put the correct range of the years for each Debian
maintainer.
    - Update the upstream copyright years (2004-2013).
    - Search with 'grep -sri copyright * | grep -v Georg' for other authors.

[1] https://packages.qa.debian.org/libi/libircclient.html

4. libircclient-dev.install: remove .a. From Maintainers Guide[2]:

Shared libraries are distributed as *.so files. (Neither *.a files nor
*.la files)

[2] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html[2]

5. Remove useless file README.source.

6. Please, tell me why you make a patch. Your package is installing
libircclient.h only. The original program is installing
libirc_options.h, libircclient.h, libirc_errors.h, libirc_rfcnumeric.h
and libirc_events.h.

7. The upstream site has lot[3] of instructions about the library. I
suggest you create a README.Debian with notice about it.

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto
