Hi Laszlo,
> I have prepared the package libmath-vector-real-perl in git at git://git.debian.org/pkg-perl/packages/libmath-vector-real-perl.git .
> Please have a look and sponsor this package for me and Shen.
other people seem to be busy, so I'll be the first to comment... A few
thoughts:
- DM-Upload-Allowed is not used in pkg-perl (and only ever added by or
at the request of a sponsor, I believe). Instead, when the
distribution in debian/changelog is set to 'unstable' from
'UNRELEASED' (e.g. by 'dch -r'), the package will come up in the
topmost section of http://pet.debian.net/pkg-perl/pet.cgi and
someone(tm) with upload permission will have a look at it and upload
the package or return it to UNRELEASED with TODO usually within 24
hours. Details about changelog handling at
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/changelog.html
- you state that you're using dh compat level 7 "when Ubuntu Precise
becomes LTS" -- this has happened, no? That said, keeping it at 7 for
backporting purposes is ok.
- the official copyright-format 1.0 URL is:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
- the license is "same as Perl", that includes GPL-1+ in addition to
Artistic ("Artistic or GPL-1+")
- the short package description should be a noun phrase, as in
/libath-vector-real-perl is a (.*)/
- README doesn't include any useful information for Debian users and
thus should not be shipped in /usr/share/doc/
- I still get lintian errors, one of which is about a spelling error,
which should be fixed by a patch and forwarded upstream
(I run 'lintian -IE --pedantic --show-overrides --color auto')
Welcome to pkg-perl!
Florian
