>From a quick look at your package: - You have a debian/patches/debian-changes-1.4.0-1 patch that is probably not intentional. - It would be great if you could use DEP-5 [1] for your debian/copyright. [1] http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ Also, if you run 'licensecheck -r .' in the root directory of your package, you'll notice that some files lack a copyright header. You should probably contact upstream about that and make sure that all the files are indeed released under the LGPL. - 'lintian -I --pedantic ndpmon_1.4.0-2_*.changes' had this to say: W: ndpmon source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status W: ndpmon source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.cache W: ndpmon source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.log W: ndpmon source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.2) I: ndpmon source: debian-watch-contains-dh_make-template I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/sbin/ndpmon Recieved Received I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/sbin/ndpmon adress address I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/sbin/ndpmon unkown unknown I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/sbin/ndpmon unkown unknown I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/src/ndpmon/ndpmon.o Recieved Received I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/src/ndpmon/ndpmon.o adress address I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/src/ndpmon/neighbors.o unkown unknown I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-binary usr/src/ndpmon/neighbors.o unkown unknown E: ndpmon: helper-templates-in-copyright I: ndpmon: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man8/ndpmon.8.gz allows to allows one to (Run it with '-i' to get a detailed explanation for each warning or error.) - Your .deb contains plenty of .{c,h,o} files, and the full source in /usr/src; I don't think it's what you intended to do, is it? - In debian/control, the description of the package contains information about when, where and by whom the software was developed; I don't think it's relevant here. You also depend explicitly on some libraries, but these should be in ${shlibs:Depends} already if the package links against them. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask if you have problems/questions about these issues. Cheers, -- Benoît Knecht -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
