thanks


Hi Peter.

Please,

1. d/copyright: I suggest you contract all data about upstream to be
less confused[1]. Example:


Files: *
Copyright: 2008-2013 Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>
License: BSD-2-clause

Files: makedep.sh t/t1.ini t/t2.ini
Copyright: ?
License: public-domain
  This file is hereby placed in the public domain.

Files: debian/*
Copyright: 2008-2014  Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>
License: BSD-2-clause


Note that I changed the copyright field in second block and added your
email address to other blocks. Please, remove the field 'License' from
header.

2. d/rules: remove the second line. Why you used many options in
rules? I think that your rules can be cleaned. It will work:


#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
        dh $@ --parallel

override_dh_auto_install:
        dh_auto_install -- DESTDIR=${CURDIR}/debian/confget PREFIX=/usr \
                MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man BINGRP=root MANGRP=root \
                EXAMPLESDIR=/usr/share/doc/confget/examples

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto

>   * Update the copyright file:
>     - convert it to the 1.0 format
>     - separate lists of copyrighted files with whitespace, not commas
>     - bump the year of my copyright notice
>     - fix the upstream homepage location
>   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5 with no changes.
>   * Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 9 with no changes.
>   * Get the hardening options directly from debhelper:
>     - remove the build dependency on hardening-includes
>     - no longer include the hardening Makefile snippet into the rules file
>     - explicitly enable all the hardening features; they may be disabled
>       in the future if confget should fail to build anywhere
>     - use DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND to, well, append to CFLAGS
>   * Enable parallel building - not that it matters a lot in this case :)
>   * New upstream release:
>     - honors CPPFLAGS now, so the hardening flags may be passed as-is
>     - autodetects getline(3) support, so no need for CFLAGS_CONF
>     - renames PCRE_CFLAGS to PCRE_CPPFLAGS, so follow suit
>     - update the copyright years in the copyright file
>     - follow upstream and switch from -ansi to -std=c99
>   * Remove the obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed field.
>   * Drop the source compression options; dpkg-dev's defaults are good enough.
>   * Update the watch file after the devel.ringlet.net website change.
>   * Let uscan verify upstream's signature against my own key.
