apt-cache search returns nothing, and sounds good to me anyway. I'm much happier now, thanks! :] And while I can't sponsor the package (not a DD myself, either), I had a quick look at it (at least, on the latest version you posted here): * In debian/copyright, the paragraph separator dots are unindented - I'm not sure whether that's acceptable or not, but it looks a bit awkward. * debian/changelog is executable for some reason (o.O) * You don't need to list ChangeLog in debian/docs, dh_installchangelogs will install it as the upstream changelog by default. But.. do you really want to do that? Upstream ChangeLog is zero-length, and thus not really useful at this time. * And as someone already mentioned, there's common-install-indep:: in debian/rules which I believe is a cdbs-ism, and does not have any effect in the current packaging. Pretty minor stuff, but thought I'll have a look and contribute something else than nagging for a different package name O:) -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
