Please kindly check the buildability of the package using a
clean chroot (automating this with pbuilder or sbuild, or
anything doing similar job at your preference. :) I had to
append python3-yaml <!nocheck> to the build dependencies to go
through the build and test process.
There were some Lintian issues afterwards, which you might want
to address:
W: faber: useless-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man1/faber.1.gz
I: faber source: debian-watch-contains-dh_make-template <project> [debian/watch]
I: faber: spelling-error-in-description platoform platform
I: python3-faber: spelling-error-in-description platoform platform
(With help2man, you can set the whatis entry with --name flag.)
You will have to document as well the following files in
d/copyright, as otherwise the package would probably get
rejected from NEW:
- doc/_static/boost.css
- src/faber/termcolor.py
- src/faber_bench/images/stop.svg (looks CC0/public domain,
but I am unsure)
Maybe I missed other files, so don't hesitate to do one more
review on your end.
I don't have access to the Debian Python team repository, so I
haven't pushed nor uploaded anything.
In hope this helps,
