Re: Introduce wrapper package of linuxbrew into Debian



Hi Gianfranco Costamagna,

I have just uploaded a updated package to mentors several seconds ago,
and I will CC you later in the d-devel discussion.

If I don't write them in dch, even I will forget what I've done to
the package months later. 

Policy chapter 4.4 said so:

 Changes in the Debian version of the package should be briefly explained in the Debian changelog file debian
 /changelog. This includes modifications made in the Debian package compared to the upstream one as well as other
 changes and updates to the package. 

So I realized that I really wrote some unnecessary things into dch.

It's still useful.
I symlink'ed wrapper script /usr/bin/linuxbrew to /usr/bin/brew,
and I provided a manpage for linuxbrew-wrapper(7) and symlinked it to
linuxbrew(7).

Then lintian still requires a manpage for /usr/bin/brew,
and this is to be overrided. After pulling a full linuxbrew repo
to home, there will be a manpage brew(1) in it.

I have changed Debian license to GPL-2. 

FYI: the packaging repo is located at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/cdluminate-guest/linuxbrew-wrapper.git/
