He adopted the orphaned package. But debian/changelog says only:
yard (2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version
-- Hector Garcia <hector@scouts-es.org> Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:05:31 +0100
Please tell him he MUST mention the other changes he did in the changelog
including the changes where he closed bugs or that he is the new
maintainer. It's very annoying and makes much work if you can't see in the
changelog what changed.
His package doesn't build (one thing he doesn't mention in the changelog
is he made a new debian/rules...):
...
./configure
Checking your version of cp...OK
Both lstat and -l seem to work -- good
ERROR, your ldconfig does not have a -r (chroot) option.
Please upgrade to a newer version that has this option.
Yard now depends upon it.
touch configure-stamp
dh_testdir
# Add here commands to compile the package.
make
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/yard-2.0'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yard-2.0'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
Is this package really good enough for a "T&S passed" ???
I recommend that Hector is not yet accepted as a Debian Maintainer.
cu,
Adrian
BTW: I started making a QA upload for yard some time ago but forgot to
upload it correctly. I've send Hector my diff.
