If you need a very fast sponsoring I can recomment to - join the Python Modules team [1] - maintain your package in the svn there - join #debian-python on the OFTC network and ask for sponsoring there. Here are a few things I found while looking trough your package: - the source is name nouvelle - why do you rename it? not a problem to build a package with a different name from it. - debian/copyright: the LGPL/GPL in common-licenses are links, pointing to version 3. The software is licensed under version 2, so you should use LGPL-2 instead. - did you ping upstream with your patch for setup.py? - you could build-depend on python-all instead of python and run the build target for all python versions, so you'll get a QA FTBFS mail if something doesn't work with new python versions. Look at the html5lib debian/rules file if you need an example, it's in the team's svn. - you have several dh_* calls in debian/rules which are not needed here, for example dh_strip. - That's the wrong directory: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ dpkg-deb -c python-nouvelle_1.0-1_all.deb | grep lib/python | head -1 drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-11-04 13:41 ./lib/python2.4/ You want to use --root=... instead of --prefix=.... That's all for now, hope to see you in the team :) Cheers, Bernd [1]: http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/python-modules-policy.html -- Bernd Zeimetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bzed.de/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
