I've eventually managed to domate gitpkg, and I succeeded at building a
.dsc out of it. dsc that matches yours in all the things, except for
the timestamps in debian.tar.xz. Am I right that you built your package
in jessie? (Or anyway, with a dpkg << 1.18.10, which is the one that
started to build reproducible source packages).
This also means that with me you don't really need (anymore) to provide
me a .dsc to dget, git pushing changes is going to be enough.
Another question about that git repository: I see there are very few
tags. Shall I suppose tags means nothing in this repository format?
I recall you were saying something about this aiming to experimental,
because some SONAME changed (I didn't really checkout), which must also
be the reason you're asking for sponsorship (=> the package will go
through NEW, so you can't upload yourself). But your upload is
targetting unstable.
Things I want to see fixed:
1/ you didn't incorporate any NMU, nor mine (which upsets me as a NMUer
trying to do QA work), nor pochu's (which is fixing a CVE, that I
suppose has been fixed upstream already so that's not so relevant.
Not including my NMU means your package gains another RC bug, and just
because you're lucky (src:kodi has yet to be fixed…) your package would
migrate to testing, but in normal circumstances it wouldn't.
The changelog is also lacking the unstable uploads for -6 and -7. I can
understand -7 where you only backported some patches that are probably
already present, but judging by the changelog I suppose -6 is also some
packaging changes; have them be included?
2/ the Vcs-* field, Vcs-Git is plain broken. If I were you I'd set both
Vcs fields to
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/imagemagick.git
That url works both as a cgit frontend.
It's something that I'm pointing out and "forcing" to be fixed due to so
seldom uploads of imagemagick... and it's fairly annoying not being
able to use `debcheckout`.
Other things that you may consider changes in future, not needed now:
I've only peaked randomly at d/rules, nothing more, so this is probably
incomplete.
1/
STATIC_DEB_SOURCE_PACKAGE could be take by
dpkg-parsechangelog -SSource
Also STATIC_DEB_VERSION you could use
dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion
instead of doing grep/cut. Or you could include
/usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk and use the variables provided by it (not
exported though).
2/
Actually I'm really not sure why you export all the variables... I'm
sure you don't need all of them exported.
3/
you have a weird if in the % target. The bug cited there is long fixed,
so probably that if is not needed anymore?
4/ you got a 'fpu_is present' target, totally unused. The most funny
bit is the presence of the space in the target name. I figure you are
better by removing the target. And if you don't want to remove it, then
you might avoid a small DRY violation by making override_dh_autoreconf
depend on that target (after the name is fixed).
5/ all the patches have 'Forwarded: Yes'. That's cool, but according
to DEP-3, Forwarded should contain the place where they have been
forwarded, not just "Yes". i.e., a patch reviewing place, an upstream
bug, a mailing list post, ...
