Bug#975389: Review of dpf-plugins RFS

thanks

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for packaging dpf-plugins for Debian. Here is a review:

Need fixing:
d/changelog:
1. This is the initial release in Debian, so the the changelog should be
empty except for the "Initial debian release (Closes: #953129)" entry.
The earlier packaging work for KXStudio & Ubuntu is at least credited in
d/copyright.

d/copyright:
2. The distrho/extra plugins seem to be using the ISC license (not
GPL2+), or at least that is the case for Thread.hpp.
3. dpf/distrho/extra/String.hpp has "Copyright (C) 2004-2008 René
Nyffenegger", and Rene is not listed at all in d/copyright.
4. I stopped checking the d/copyright file here. I recommend a thorough
check of d/copyright to ensure the package passes smoothly through the
ftp-master review.

Minor/optional stuff:
5. d/dpf-plugins-vst.lintian-overrides (and for the lv2, ladspa & dssi
packages):
"splitted" is not grammatically correct, and the lintian output should
not be overriden, but a patch sent upstream. "3 Band Equalizer, split
output version" would be better.
6. dpf-plugins-common emits a lintian warning about "no-manual-page" for
the binaries. I tried a couple of them and they seem to open gui's and
the normal -h & -v options do nothing. Maybe we could check the others
and override the warning?

Other comments:
7. I see version 1.4 is now available upstream. If you prefer, we could
update to a full release rather than the "1.3 plus git commit" we have
at the moment.

I would be happy to upload with at least the first four comments fixed!

Regards,

Ross
