thanks


Hi Yao-Po,

I will try help you with conman. Please:

1. d/control:
    - In Build-Depends, change debhelper from 9.0.0 to 9.
    - Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
d/control.
    - Put 'Suggests' after 'Package' field.

2. d/copyright:
     - The file auxdir/install-sh is under MIT/X license.
     - I suggest you to put the GPL-3+ one time only in the
d/copyright file. You can see an example here[1].

[1] http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/netmate/unstable_copyright

3. d/rules: remove these useless lines:

# -*- makefile -*-

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.

4. You have a LIntian message:

I: conman source: unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright paragraph at line 5

5. Please, add to your d/rules:

export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed

to fix this issue:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/conman/usr/bin/conman debian/conman/usr/sbin/conmand were not
linked against libnsl.so.1 (they use none of the library's symbols)

See more details here[2].

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto
