I am not a DD so I can't upload your package. However I am a stumpwm user, except I have been using the upstream git version until now because I initially had trouble using the Debian package and didn't have the time to troubleshoot. Technically the package looks fine, it builds cleanly in a sid chroot. Lintian has one pedantic warning: P: stumpwm: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL You may want to change that to GPL-2. I faced some problems in using the package. Initially, both clisp and sbcl would complain about "Component 'stumpwm' not found". I eventually found out that I needed a symlink: /usr/share/common-lisp/systems/stumpwm.asd -> /usr/share/common-lisp/source/stumpwm/stumpwm.asd I presume the package was meant to set this link up itself, but for some reason it didn't. I installed it using 'dpkg -i' after building it with 'debuild'. You might want to use DEP-3 for patches. Consider updating your DEP-5 formatting: Format-Specification -> Format Upstream-Source -> Source Upstream-Maintainer -> Upstream-Contact And you need to expand the short name for the license GPL-3+. Once I had set up the symlink, I was able to load and use stumpwm successfully with both SBCL and CLISP. I would give you some more detailed feedback on using the package, but at the moment I am using stumpwm with GNOME 3 (in fallback mode) and my configuration -- which is pretty fragile -- was broken. I believe this is because upstream git defaults to compiling an SBCL image as a binary, which has a marginally faster startup time. Because the packaged version of stumpwm loads slightly slower, GNOME is (most times!) able to load its panel first, causing Stumpwm to load on top of it, which breaks the ability to use the GNOME panel. [Suggestions welcome, I don't consider this a bug in the stump package because using stump with the GNOME panel seems to be quite a bizarre and non-recommended configuration. I have been meaning to migrate away from it but didn't get the time.] Thanks for your work on stumpwm!
