Please be more verbose/descriptive here, i.e. something like: - Fix FTBFS on kfreebsd (Closes: #725476) - Include bmcautoconf.sh script (Closes: #627041) ...etc. Bugs that were fixed in an earlier upstream release (like #708387) should be closed manually by sending mail to 708387-done@bugs.d.o with the correct Version: header set (so that they're marked as fixed in the correct version(s)). > * Bumps compat to 9 > * New maintainer ( Closes: #748487 ) - debian/copyright: line 67 seems to be out of place (move to line 64?) - This is entirely up to you, but you could avoid possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl entirely if you chose to license debian/* under GPL-2+ with the openssl exception clause (instead of just plain GPL-2+). Also, as debian/* is the only thing that's GPL-licensed in the entire package, you could also just use the same license as the rest of upstream's source (3-clause BSD). Assuming you deliberately chose to license your packaging as GPL-2+, just be careful of including any non-trivial patches in debian/patches/*, as that could cause you to run into conflict with possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl. - A lot of your patches have incomplete DEP-3 headers (it looks like you've just copied and pasted from a template). Don't forget to forward your patches upstream if possible. - If you're going to install systemd service files, please build-dep on dh-systemd and put "dh $@ --with systemd" in debian/rules (AFAIK that injects some Debian+systemd-specific integration stuff into your maintainer scripts). [1] - debian/dirs and debian/README.source are both redundant (the latter because you use source format "3.0 (quilt)"). - lintian: W: ipmitool: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/ipmitool.1.gz 1037: warning [p 13, 4.0i]: can't break line Regards, Vincent [1] https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Packaging -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
