Bug#703630: RFS: libaria/2.7.5.2-1 [ITP] -- C++ library for MobileRobots/ActivMedia robots
Hi Anton, I've adressed all the issues you raised and uploaded the package to mentors (https://mentors.debian.net/package/libaria). As for the licenses, all the C++ source files contain the header with licensing information (GPL-2), but there are also some figures used in documentation (I consider those covered by the LICENSE.txt).

Hi Srećko, I did not look at the package precisely. So I am not able to give you concrete advices, sorry. Lintian works in most of cases just fine. Please, do not ignore its warnings and fix them.

What's the procedure if I decide to repackage? Because there would be significant space savings after all. But what I'd really like is to get the upstream maintainer to release source only tarballs. The tarball is a full of binaries and so-files. It really needs to be fixed. I would personally not upload such source into Debian in this state. Please, read this articles [1]. There are a lot of useful tips. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide libaria2 would liked to be hardened. This would be taken care of if I added this lines at the top of the makefile: DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1 include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk Use dh 9. Finally, the libaria-dev-doc package: - duplicate-files: I use the docs file to package the libaria-dev-doc. Html is doxygen generated, in a directory containing some source pngs in a subdir, hence the duplicate files. Can I somehow exclude the subdir containing source pngs in the docs file? There are just 5(?) of them. You can use symlinks, I think. But it is not critical. - embedded-javascript-library: The jquery library is introduced by doxygen. Symlink and depends on packaged jquerry. Thanks for trying to package it. But, from my point of view, you should work with upstream to fix some issues.

Hi, please, have a look at the page of your package [1]. There are a log of warnings, which need to be fixed. The lintian-checker produces those warnings, if you start it over your .changes-file.

Hi Anton, Thanks for the tip. I already handled a lot of warnings before the first upload, and I'd like some advice about handling the rest of them. Starting from the source package: - source-contains-prebuilt-binary: I've read somewhere that this is not a reason for repackaging. What's the procedure if I decide to repackage? Because there would be significant space savings after all. But what I'd really like is to get the upstream maintainer to release source only tarballs. - debhelper-but-no-misc-depends for libaria-dev-doc: As this is a documentation only package, I don't see the need for this. libaria2 would liked to be hardened. This would be taken care of if I added this lines at the top of the makefile: DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1 include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk ? - no-symbols-control-file: Could I use shlibs system for my first package? - spelling-error-in-binary: Send a patch upstream? Finally, the libaria-dev-doc package: - duplicate-files: I use the docs file to package the libaria-dev-doc. Html is doxygen generated, in a directory containing some source pngs in a subdir, hence the duplicate files. Can I somehow exclude the subdir containing source pngs in the docs file? - embedded-javascript-library: The jquery library is introduced by doxygen. Best regards, Srećko Jurić-Kavelj, dipl.ing.
