Hi Gianfranco I've re-uploaded to mentors.debian.net
This corrects the issues mentioned previously. Note - I've resolved the LICENSE issue by two debian/patches Note - This still produces an informational lintian issue with the remove-license.diff patch. This is very odd because this does have a PEP3 header on the diff file * Package name : rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar Version : 0.15.0-1 I've uploaded a newer version with a new autotools build mechanism+patches here: http://mentors.debian.net/package/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar_0.15.0-1.dsc thanks David On 21 December 2015 at 11:05, foss.freedom <foss.free...@gmail.com> wrote: > Many thanks Gianfranco, > > to answer your questions > > 1. python3 - yes I should include this as a dependency - you are correct > rhythmbox does have a dependency - but belt-and-braces > 2.
