control: owner -1 ! control: tags -1 moreinfo Hi,
something needs changes: - std-version is now 3.9.7 - unsecure VCS fields - call ldconfig in rules? what? - changing names usually is just bad, people won't find the package, and you will diverge from upstream. do you have any good rationale? - do you pass --parallel twice? (I mean in build) - what about dh_auto_configure -- (FLAGS) instead of ./configure? (I think the build fails for "unknown parameters, right?" - they have a Makefile.in, but no configure.ac. please ask them to include it, and do autoreconf before building (Probably they are not using autotools but they just like similar and confusing names) - copyrights missing, e.g. Tommy Hofmann, Arb, FSFa licenses looks good to me check-all-the-things: codespell --quiet-level=3 flawfinder -Q -c . cppcheck -j1 --quiet -f . | grep -vF 'cppcheck: error: could not find or open any of the paths given.' [lots] # You should almost never use -m64 and -m32 when compiling. $ grep -rE -- '-m64|-m32' . ./configure: ABI_FLAG="-m32" ./configure: ABI_FLAG="-m64" $ pep8 --ignore W191 . pyflakes{,3} ./doc/source/_static/arbtext.pdf ./doc/source/_static/arbtext.eps maybe recreate during build? Please add some upstream metadata: https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata and the other stuf LGTM (you shouldn't address all the above, something is just nice to have) cheers, G.
