Re: ITP: pynac -- engine for symbolic geometric calculus for Python (Bug#678332)
The package looks good. Good to see a library that properly uses libtool
in Sage. :)
Here are my comments:
- I'm not satisfied with the reason for the lintian override of
hardening-no-fortify-functions that hardening makes no sense. Since
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is passed, this may be a false positive from
lintian, so that may be a better comment.
- Pass --disable-silent-rules to configure to get a more meaningful
build log.
- Install README
- Install NEWS as upstream changelog, instead of ChangeLog
- Tip for debian/copyright: you don't need to repeat the GPL2+ in every
file paragraph, one License:GPL2+ paragraph at the end would also do the
trick.
Cheers,
Tobias
