Hi. I was tipped about your xterminator package in Ubuntu, available from http://ppa.launchpad.net/moquist/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xterminator/xterminator_0.1-4.dsc. I maintain the killer package in Debian, with a similar but not identical scope as your package.
I had a look at the packaging of xterminator, and found some issues you might want to fix. - The control file say 'architecture: any' while the package is platform independent and thus should be 'architecture: all'. - The debian/ directory is full of example files. All of them should be removed. (rm debian/*.ex debian/*.EX). - The copyright file is not complete and need an update. Upstream download site, author, copyright and license is missing. - The debian/README.Debian file do not contain any info and can be removed. - The version number 0.1-4 indicate a non-native package, but no xterminator_0.1.orig.tar.gz file is present in the archive. If the package is supposed to be a native package, the version number should be changed to 0.1 (or perhaps 0.4 in this case). - All the dh_* example lines in debian/rules that are currently commented out should be removed to make the file easier to read and understand. - Is the script still killing processes on logout? The control file indicated it, but the changelog mentioned a bug causing this feature to be removed. Which is correct?
