Hello Tobias, thanks a lot for this valuable review! I did my best to update the packages. It's uploaded to mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/zipios++/ Please note that the upstream applied some of my patches and they released a new version (2.2.6). I've updated the package with this new release. Comments inline below: > So, yes, sourceful upload of all r-depends it will be… And you > likely will need > to provide patches.

By default, dh_installdocs installs the html documentation under /usr/share/doc/libzipios-dev instead of /usr/share/doc/libzipios-doc inside the libzipios-doc package. I can't figure out why. Any help is welcome! For the moment the only solution I get is to override dh_installdocs. > - There is also dh_doxygen. Perfect tool!
