Hello Michael, I found your package on mentors archive, and I'm generally interested in uploading codeblocks to Debian archive, since I intend to use it. In fact we have already gave it a try and found it much lightweight and intuitive as compared to eclipse + CDT for instance and AFAICS reading that buglog there are quite some people interested in codeblocks package who are now using their own local ones. Packaging looks fine to, but some comments though:
* I found some pieces of code which seem to be external projects (tinyxml, wxscintilla, both hosted at sf.net); a simple grep for `author' or `file by' would reveals these details. Also licensecheck (devscripts) would be helpful. So, these licences and copyrights should also be listed in debian/copyright file, which presumably is in machine interpretable format. However, having so much code duplication doesn't help security, so we would be better off approaching upstream and find ways to use these packages (not packaged yet) separately, and not carry them with codeblocks source tree. These could be sort of tedious and time consuming dealing with upstream. * I haven't looked at their trunk lately, but is there any progress on sorting out that `global plugins path' hack you have applied to the package ? * I also think that such a tremendous package as a codebase should be maintained by a team, ubuntu guys are also welcome of course. Any suggestions ?
