Hi Manuel and Sylvestre,
Nice work :) I have a few comments and questions:
- Why is 'Priority: extra' preferred over optional? What are the
expected benefits?
- It could be useful to request that the fields in debian/control are
always used in the same order, to help repository-wide changes.
- The match order in the machine-readable copyright format has been
reversed compared to the original proposal. Therefore, your example
is slightly outdated.
- For the license of the packaging work, I recommend to require that
its license is not more restrictive than the original source, so that
patches do not cause problems when forwarded upstream.
> 1. What license should we use for the document?
Unless you have concerns that the document can be forked and
close-sourced, using GPL is probably too much and will open the
possibility of arguments at the GPLv4 transition :)
Have a nice day,
