Bug#764261: RFS: librocket/1.3-1 [ITP]

[Harlan Lieberman-Berg <H.LiebermanBerg@gmail.com>]

Hi Tom!

Thanks for packaging librocket for Debian.  I've got a couple things for
you to fix as the next steps.

1. You should delete all of those .ex files in the debian directory.
Those are just examples of things that you might need to do.

2. Your changelog should close an ITP bug - in your case, #764252.

3. If you are using compat = 9 (which you should!), you need to depend
on debhelper >= 9.

4. Your VCS fields contain a repository which doesn't exist.  You should
setup the collab-maint repository and push the packaging's git
repository there.

5. Your standards version isn't the latest version - you should update
it to 3.9.6.

6. Your packages should have a short description and a longer
description that should be enough information for a user to decide
whether they want to install the package.  Check out Debian Policy 3.4
for more details there.

7. Your patches are missing DEP-3 headers; check out the patch tagging
guidelines at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/.

Lintian is a very helpful tool for finding some of these problems, and
has more than I detailed above, as well as some general warnings that
might point to bigger problems.  I recommend it highly; it's saved my
butt on many an occasion!

Thanks again for your help packaging librocket for Debian; when you've
got another upload that fixes the problems, send the bug a mail and
someone will swing by and take another look.

Sincerely,
