Hey Niklas,
Thanks for the package. I have a few comments about it.
1) The Standards-Version should be 3.9.8, and not 3.9.6.
2) On the debian/control file, the last line "This description was
automagically extracted..." could be removed, IMHO.
3) I don't know if you got in touch with the Debian Perl team, but you
probably should.
4) There are some lintian warnings that you should fix. This is what I
get here:
W: libterm-animation-perl: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
This means that you must close the ITP bug in your debian/changelog
entry.
W: libterm-animation-perl: description-contains-dh-make-perl-template
This is about the point that I raised on (2).
W: libterm-animation-perl: manpage-has-errors-from-pod2man usr/share/man/man3/Term::Animation.3pm.gz:547
W: libterm-animation-perl: manpage-has-errors-from-pod2man usr/share/man/man3/Term::Animation::Entity.3pm.gz:451
W: libterm-animation-perl: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man3/Term::Animation::Entity.3pm.gz
These are apparently upstream errors. You should consider fixing them
and contributing the patch back to upstream, IMO.
You can get a detailed list of warnings by running "lintian -Ii" on the
.{deb,asc,changes} files.
I guess that's what I have for now. I'm far from being a Perl expert,
so probably someone with more knowledge about the Debian Perl Policy can
comment more.
Cheers,
