It seems there are several things to be fixed: W outdated-autotools-helper-file -- looks like that dh-autoreconf or autotools-dev would like to be your friends. Please also the linitan errors, eg dir-or-file-in-var-run or missing-dependency-on-libc (There are many other information errors that are easy to fix) For the overriden linitian warnings: Most of those should be fixed instead of overriden: binary-without-manpage command-with-path-in-maintainer-script manpage-has-errors-from-man If you cannot fix them now, don't override them. Generally, if you override linitian, please do document *why* in the overrides. Stopping here, as it makes no sense to review the code if there are still lintian *errors* > As everything can be compared to existing and accepted mariadb-5.5, > the task of sponsoring my 10.0 should be relatively trivial.

There are e.g 4 errors and 8 warnings for it; at least one of the errors would qualify RC (if linitian is right on this, of course; but then they should be overriden) (I'm currently in the NM process, I'll consider when done to join the Debian MySQL team) -- Tobi > > Regards, > Otto Kekäläinen > > > > -- > Check out our blog at http://seravo.fi/blog > and follow @ottokekalainen > >
