As others said already, 'microsoft' in the package name is a sad
situation. Personally, is just a can of worms I do not want to open for
so little, so please rename it to something else (I like 'ms-gsl').
I changed package name to ms-gsl as you want (libmsgsl-dev for .deb
package). These names sound as good as the previous ones, I think.
Anyway, I don't know much about these law things.
Version : 0.1~2017.03.20~git16a6a41-1
I recommend using 0 instead of 0.1 as base version.
Okay, I see this is a good idea. I also updated to a new version as well.
As I said privately, I'd enjoy having a git repository for this :)
Here I feel you could enjoy even more baing the repo out of upstream
git (see an example in the dehydrated package); or you can see my
pencil2d package for an example of a thing building tarball out of
upstream git, ready to be committed; as you prefer.
I temporally uploaded my repo to GitHub [1]. I believe alioth.debian.org
will be a better location. I've registered there (my username is
mymedia-guest) just now.
The first commit in that repository corresponds to what I uploaded to
mentors.debian.net. I made final modifications (for this stage) in the
last, 8dec145.
I also made get-orig-source target in d/rules. It clones the upstream
repository and pack it in a tar archive. I made it because I hadn't
found any tarball on upstream GitHub.
* test building, I noticed it didn't take advantage of my quad-core
system; why didn't you use compat level 10?
I'm Ubuntu user, but there is only debhelper of version 9 in ubuntu
repositories. So I added --parallel option into d/rules file as an
interim solution.
* please send that UnitTest.patch upstream; that's clearly one of those
cases their stupid system with a case-insensitive file system tricked
them…
* that empty directory tests/unittest-cpp, why didn't you remove it?
It seems the upstream doesn't need this patch because they use a last
version of UnitTeset++ framework where the header has capital letters.
Was I supposed to delete that directory? I thought it was in the
upstream repo and I shouldn't have touch it.

this "library" does not provide real funtionallity, its only to code "as

You got the wrong idea. This library is an implementation of C++ Core
Guidelines written by Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter. It could very
well be included into a future C++ Standard. You have not to regard this
as a creature of evil Microsoft. See an old announce [2].
Theoretically, this may not be the only implementation, but I could not
find another one. If you get a replacement, I'll be very glad. But right
now your attacks are unconstructive and blatantly false.
