Great. I'm no DD so I can't sponsor your package but I can give
comments nonetheless. So, I have following things I don't understand:
- Is there specific need to list libncurses etc. dependencies in
debian/control, should ${shlibs:Depends} take care of that? Or
you want a very specific version? Ncurses is still fairly standard
stuff.
- The zmodem license is interesting as they say "don't distributed
modifications" -> does a patch count as modification? As a sw
developer I would say "yes" but someone else needs to clarify
that. Anyway, if they say "no modifications" and then we find
urgent need to patch zmodem (say, a serious security flaw) then
the options are to remove zmodem or remove whole package? .. is
zmodem still in active development? I remember having used that
after x- and ymodem protocols went out of fashion some ~20 years ago :)
- Good: watch file is present
Bad: according to "uscan --report" it points to no sw version
In addition to that, nothing big plugs my eye. Sw even builds, too bad
my supramodem2400 is out of service so I can't really really try it
out.
