Hi Daniel, Daniel Echeverry wrote: > I updated the package with other changes. the new changelog is:
Thanks for your effort to revive and revamp that package. (I was a ircii user before I switched to irssi.) I'd sponsor the upload, but there's at least one show-stopper -- plus a few nice-to-have things: > * debian/control > + Use HTTPS in Vcs field Minor nitpick: There are two Vcs-* fields, not just one. But to the real issue: You changed the Vcs-Git URL to https://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/ircii.git -- which gives a 404. Please use https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ircii.git instead. (For me that's the only show stopper, the remainders are only minor issues which won't keep me from sponsoring.) "duck" found this issue btw., too: E: debian/control: Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/ircii.git: ERROR (Certainty:certain) fatal: repository 'https://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/ircii.git/' not found And when you're on it, please switch the Vcs-Browser from https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ircii.git;a=summary to where it redirects, i.e. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/ircii.git. (Using https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ircii.git -- without the "c" of "cgit" works fine, too.) Apropos git: Did you do that work on a clone of https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ircii.git and is that published somewhere so that we can push it back? Or shall I just "gbp import-dsc" the uploaded package afterwards? > * debian/rules > + Migrate to dh tiny rules. While I'd sponsor it without the following change proposition, I generally wouldn't hardcode any version in debian/rules, even if the old package did that, too: override_dh_install: dh_install echo "set CLIENT_INFORMATION ircii-debian 20151120" > debian/ircii/usr/share/ircII/script/version I'd rather do it this way: override_dh_install: dh_install echo "set CLIENT_INFORMATION ircii-debian `dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion | sed -e 's/-[^-]*$//'`" > debian/ircii/usr/share/ircII/script/version Or if you want to include the Debian package version, just remove the sed call: override_dh_install: dh_install echo "set CLIENT_INFORMATION ircii-debian `dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion`" > debian/ircii/usr/share/ircII/script/version If you want, I can also change these things myself before uploading. But if you want to do any of these changes yourself, feel free to do so and ping me again afterwards. There are though a few things found by duck, I'd like to fix myself, preferable before uploading: E: debian/patches/0003-Add-ioption-to-local-include-paths-so-they-do-not-co.patch:2: Email: Tobias Klauser tklau...@access.unizh.ch : ERROR (Certainty:possible) tklau...@access.unizh.ch: No MX entry found. tklau...@access.unizh.ch: No A entry found. tklau...@access.unizh.ch: No AAAA entry found.

Tobias' new e-mail address is tklau...@distanz.ch.
