Hi Harlan,
thanks for packaging libtenjin-perl Perl module.
If you are interested in packaging Perl modules, please consider to join
our team requesting an alioth account [1]
If you need help or you have any questions don't hesitate to ask on
mailing list or on IRC (you can find our funny 'faces' on #debian-perl,
OFTC network :-))
Below my comments on your package:
Just a note before starting: I'm not a DD, so feel free to ignore my
review.
* debian/control
+ Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7): you can update it to (>= 8)
+ Standards-Version: 3.9.1: you can update it to 3.9.2
+ Missing Vcs-* fields: we use git repository for all our packages.
For instruction on how to use it, please read
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html
+ long description: please substitute 'Tenjin' with 'libtenjin-perl'
+ short description: should omit any initial indefinite or
definite article like 'a', 'an' etc. etc.
* debian/compat
+ Update it to 8
* debian/libtenjin-perl.docs
+ if the README file does not contains useful information,
usually, we don't release it. In this case I think we can
release, but wait for a DD opinion.
+ Perhaps Changes file can be released as 'upstream changelog'
but also in this case, wait for a DD opinion
* debian/copyright
+ use DEP-5 format as below
Format-Specification:
Maintainer:
Source:
Name:
* debian/changelog
+ please close an ITP/RFP bug
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/RFP.html
* debian/patches
+ Use DEP-3 headers:
Description: <what the patch does>
Author: <your name> <your email>
Forwarded: <no, if there is no reason to forward to upstream>
Last-Update: <date of last refresh>
Building the package I get this lintian messages:
W: libtenjin-perl source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.2)
(looks my previous note on debian/control)
W: libtenjin-perl: description-synopsis-starts-with-article
(looks my previous note on debian/control)
I need to check the dependencies you specified in d/control: I'll do it
next time, when all this things will be fixed.
..and finally, I hope to see you soon in our team :-)
Cheers,
Fabrizio.
