Bug#828978: RFS: install-mimic/0.2.0-1 (ITP)



control: tag -1 +moreinfo

Hello Peter,

Here's a few comments and questions on your package (hopefully get the
ball rolling on sponsorship).

1. This package has a perl and a C version of the program, and you
install the C one.  Have you considered installing both and using the
alternatives system to permit the user to choose?

2. Your autopkgtest test suite appears to test the perl version?  Not
sure -- would be best to add comments to the debian/test/control file.

3. If users need to overwrite files installed by Debian packages, they
should use dpkg-divert and/or dpkg-statoverride.  Perhaps it should be
stated clearly in the package description that install-mimic should be
used in combination with those tools.
