Many thanks Gianfranco,
to answer your questions
1. python3 - yes I should include this as a dependency - you are correct rhythmbox does have a dependency - but belt-and-braces
2. When the topic of changing the interface for rhythmbox came up on a bugzilla report, the rhythmbox maintainer dismissed very quickly the approach of using a python3 plugin. Thus I havent attempted to upstream this
With regards to the lintian report:
1. W: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar source: build-depends-on-python-dev-with-no-arch-any
There is no reason for the package to have a build-depends on python3-dev so I'll remove this.
2. P: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature
No idea on this - dont think GitHub provides a means to gpg-signature the tar.gz tag file
3. P: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar: no-upstream-changelog
Think this means I need to change my source and thus bump the version. If you don't mind I would like to bump this into a future version of the plugin.
4. I: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar: capitalization-error-in-description Gnome GNOME
Doh! - yes, quite correct - I'll change all references for Gnome to GNOME in the description
5. W: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar: extra-license-file usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/alternative-toolbar/LICENSE
I'm not sure how to do this - I thought of using a debian/rules override_dh_auto_install but this doesnt seem to be working. If you have any thoughts on this I would be very grateful - for the moment I've created a unix-and-linux stackexchange question and I hope someone can answer:
thanks
David
