Bug#756100: RFS: plowshare4/1.0.4-1 [ITP] -- command-line application to download files for file-sharing websites.



Hi Eriberto,

Thanks very much for your review. I've uploaded a new version to mentors
which I believe addresses all of your feedback.

There are two remaining lintian complaints that I'm not sure how to
manage. The first is the missing d/watch file. A release is made solely
by adding a new tag to the upstream git repo and the tarball for each
can be downloaded at a URL of the form
https://plowshare.googlecode.com/archive/v1.0.4.tar.gz but there is no
index which lists or links to the current release. As far as I can tell,
the only way to see releases is via git or the "tag" dropdown on
googlecode, and I couldn't work out if this was enough to use with
uscan. I will discuss with upstream and see if they can start listing
the current release somewhere.

The second complaint is about a lack of upstream changelog. There is a
changelog of sorts at
https://code.google.com/p/plowshare/wiki/PlowshareChanges but I'm not
sure if this should be included in the package or not.

Another point to consider is that this package depends on the APIs of
several dozen external sites which means that new updates are released
quite frequently to keep pace. Is there a good way to handle this high
turnover in the debian archive?

Cheers,
Carl
