Hi Dominique, Thanks for helping out with the sword package. On the changelog, you increment the Debian version number (or the upstream version number for a new upstream release) and create a changelog entry for everything that has changed between the two version. If you look at some Daniel's or Dmitrijs' old changelog entries, I think that you will find some excellent examples of changelog entries. I also looked at your git commit messages and they are brief, so you might find that the git-dch utility (from git-buildpackage) gives you a trivially easy way to generate a suitable changelog entry. Feel free to prepare a changelog entry and I will be happy to review it and make any necessary suggestions. I briefly looked over the lintian output and it looks like the package needs a small amount of cleanup. I will take a closer look in the coming days. Would you prefer that I just go ahead and make any changes needed to appease lintian, or would you prefer that I explain a solution in general terms and leave it for you to solve? I am happy to do either. Also, will you need for me to review your work and sponsor and upload of the package when you are done with your work? Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
