Bug#760241: RFS: winetricks/0.0+20140818+svn1202-1 (ITA)

[Eriberto Mota <eriberto@debian.org>]

Hi Joseph.

Please:

1. d/changelog:
    - Change from 'Add Joseph Bisch as maintainer (Closes: #735288)'
to 'New maintainer (Closes: #735288)'.

2. Remove all garbage: d/changelog.{BACKUP.21866, BASE.21866,
LOCAL.21866, REMOTE.21866}. These files are trash or references to
Ubuntu d/changelog.

3. d/control:
    - Why the package recommends zenity | kdebase-bin? I am afraid
because kdebase-bin is a monster (a detail: I use KDE). I need you
invetigate this dependency.
    - Do you have access to collab-maint? If not, you must create an
external VCS and import all data.
    - The long description appears a mix between long description and
README. Please, move this content to README.Debian (you can create a
new section below the Jari Aalto and put a footer with your name):

 About pckages in Recommends header: to use GUI progress bar, install
 package "zenity". To read manuals, install package "xdg-utils". If
 you need to cache any *.iso files with the -k option, install package
 "sudo" or sudo GUI "gksu".
 .
 NOTE: This package suggests installing package libwine. Some, but not
 all package downloads depend on restarting the wineserver which is
 included in libwine.
 .
 NOTE: In case you have compiled wine from sources and installed it
 out of dpkg(1)'s control, winetricks' depends wouldn't know about it. In
 that case create a "dummy wine" package to satisfy depends by using
 tools in "equivs" package before installing winetricks. An example:
 .
   git clone git@github.com:jaalto/project--debian-wine-dummy.git
   cd project--debian-wine-dummy
   make
   dpkg -i wine*.deb
   apt-get install winetricks


I suggest review and rewrite the original text.


d/copyright: you need update the upstream name list and years in
'Files: *'. you can use 'grep -sri copyright * | grep -v debian'.

d/rules: I suggest move the winetricks.svg install to d/install. it
will avoid two points of installation.

d/watch: doesn't show the last version.

d/clean: currently, this file hasn't a function.

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto
