I've ended up doing quite a bit of cleanup to the upstream repository.
This includes a rename of the repo from "tsn-scripts" to the more
specific "isochron" name. Along with this, my belief is that the debian
package name should also be "isochron", but I'm not clear whether I
should close this ITP and open a new one for that?
In any case, the sources for the debian package are now included in the
upstream source itself:
https://github.com/vladimiroltean/isochron
It builds and installs cleanly on armhf, aarch64 and x86_64. It's just
that lintian shows these warnings which I'm not sure what to do about?
W: isochron: improbable-bug-number-in-closes 1010396
W: isochron source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2.0 (line 9)
W: isochron source: no-debian-changes
I looked at the documentation, and it appears that apart from some
review, the next step should be uploading to salsa, basically?
Not sure how that's supposed to happen, though. I haven't been
subscribed to debian-devel for more than 1 week, but in the other ITPs
posted so far, I don't think I saw any activity on them?
