Bug#739056: RFS: cwm/5.1-1 [ITP] -- Lightweight and efficient window manager for X11



* James McDonald <james@jamesmcdonald.com>, 2014-03-14, 12:01:
It would be better to use dpkg-buildflags instead of hardcoding the flags in debian/rules.
Done, thanks for the tip.

An unintended side-effect of passing CFLAGS to make is that now warnings (except -Wformat) are no longer enabled. :/

Perhaps upstream could fix their makefile, so that they honour CFLAGS from environment? It's a bit odd that they do it with CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but not with CFLAGS.

gpg doesn't grok ASCII-armored keyrings. uscan can unarmor them, but it does it only if the extension is ".asc". So now the verification fails:
I replaced it with a binary key. I had called it .php with an armoured key because that made lintian happy.

Nice typo! *giggle*

It doesn't seem to like a .asc file.

Lintian doesn't know about ASCII-armoured keyrings yet; this is bug #736711.

As regards the name /usr/bin/cwm, is there a reference for the correct or recommended way to rename files in the event of such collisions?
[...]
I will speak to upstream and try to resolve this. To my mind something like openbsd-cwm or calmwm would make sense.

Great, thanks.

I wonder if extracting upstream changelog automatically from README wouldn't be a better strategy than manually maintaining a patch.

I'd prefer if Debian changelog for initial release contained only a single entry.
