Bug#910837: RFS: mle/1.2-1 [ITP] -- flexible terminal-based text editor (C)

[Mo Zhou <lumin@debian.org>]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this package, the copyright file looks good to me.
However there are still a couple of problems:

1. Can we avoid shipping with embedded code copy[1] of lua, termbox and
   uthash? . lua 5.3 and uthash are already in the archive. termbox needs
   to be packaged.

2. I'd recommend you to create a packaging repo so that the others can
   track the changes about packaging with git. Since you are also the
   upstream author, it's fine if you set the source format as
   "3.0 (native)" and push the debian directory to the upstream git repo.
   A separate git repo following e.g. the gbp-buildpackage workflow is
   also acceptable. No packaging repo is fine too but not encouraged.

3. External tools such as fzf can be leveraged by mle to enhance
   features. That means those packages should be listed in the
   "Recommends" or "Suggests" fields.

Best.
