Ok. Good first pass. How can I best help improve things. Here's a quick list of what I noticed first.For me, "debuild -us -uc" chokes due to the extra newline in debian/control Fix is easy enough. Standards-Version in debian/control refers to Debian's policy standards. Set to 3.6.1 Package version number (in changelog) should be set to something like0.91-1 (the first value is the upstream version number, and the second value is the Debian package revision number).Why is there only a python-2.3 package? Is that all pylucene supports? Lintian gives a number of warnings and errors. All those need to be fixed. Do you need help with them? The native-package-with-dash-version can be fixed by making sure the upstream tarball is around with a special name (PACKAGE-VERISION.orig.tar.gz) as described in some of the documentation. Cheers, Jeff
OK, so here it is then. I don't think it got into the bug so I'm
attaching Jeff's critique of my initial packaging. I have not found
time to address any of these so if anyone want's to give it a go, feel
free to use http://jlb.distractionlabs.com/python-pylucene_r91.tar.gz as
a starting point.
