You must have got your copy from debian-multimedia.org So that the package builds fine, you have to remove mp4v2 support. Aslo, you might want to build your package in a clean chroot thanks to pbuilder to check the build-dependencies.

As for bmp2, you can simply symlink to beep-media-player-2 As a side note, I find it quite misleading that the package (and the source tarball) is called bmpx whereas the main executable is /usr/bin/beep-media-player-2. Shouldn't the binary package be called beep-media-player-2 (whereas the source package remains bmpx)? Why do other think? Also, FAM is supported according to the README (ok, for the moment), I think it would be better to build against FAM, as gamin is considered obsolete in Debian (at least by the GNOME team), and a small number of packages depend on it (see apt-cache rdepends gamin libgamin0 python-gamin).

No file from that tarball under the GPL. :)
There are two files with originally non-LGPL licenses, but in both cases the
original license allows you to relicense. After relicensing is the whole tarball

I'd prefer not to. AFAIK, it's not mentioned in any official documentation that
I should.

* You shouldn't use ${Source-Version} in debian/control any more

The policy suggests to use ${Source-Version}. I'd rather stick to it until
it's
changed there.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-intradeps
See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383040
for an example bug that is the fault of using this field.
Yes, the field is new, and so it hasn't made it to policy yet, but there
is a reason it has been added, and this is to solve a simple yet
irritating problem.
* Your debian/copyright is slighly lacking. You should note which
files go with each copyright statement. Also there is at least one
file not under the GPL, and this should be noted and it's license
included.
No file from that tarball under the GPL. :)
Sorry, reading too quickly.
There are two files with originally non-LGPL licenses, but in both cases the
original license allows you to relicense. After relicensing is the whole
tarball
under LGPL.
The file i was talking about was the public domain one. I didn't
actually go and look up its license, but if it allows it to be
relicensed then that license should be quoted with a mention that that
is what has happened.
* Add a copyright and license statement about your debian/packaging.
I'd prefer not to. AFAIK, it's not mentioned in any official documentation
that
I should.
But your packaging has copyright that belongs to you, and if you do not
distribute it under a license then you are causing problems. They may
not be seen as serious, but if you add two lines to debian/copyright
then they can disappear completely.
For what it is worth it is now included in the dh_make templates.

The bug is about using ${Source-Version} between Architecture: all and
Architecture: any packages, which indeed can cause problems.
But in my case both libdiscid0 and libdiscid0-dev are Architecture: any and so
both will be rebuilt on a bin-NMU -- which means ${Source-Version} won't cause
any problems.

Sounds good. I've updated the short description to Burns normalized audio CDs from lists of MP3s/WAVs/OGGs/FLACs and made small changes to the packaging based on suggestions from my other mentors.d.n upload. I built and installed the package. But when calling the program with a bunch of MP3 files or a playlist I just get Cannot find 'decoder:mp3'! Is there a dependency missing? Since mp3cd handles multiple formats, I put all the decoders in the Recommends line so that I didn't force people to install a decoder they were never going to use. However, that particular error message is pretty useless, so I've rev'd to 1.25.1, where that error now reads: Cannot find program to handle 'decoder:mp3'! Tried: mpg321, mpg123 The new version is 1.25.1-1. If you have time, can you give it another try?

I had asked that question to Donn Morrison in November last year, here is his answer: From: Donn Morrison donn.morrison at gmail dot com To: Julien Valroff julien at kirya dot net Subject: Re: webcam_server Yeah I'm still maintaining it. I haven't had time to work on it lately but I plan to do a few things to it in the near future. By all means go ahead and build a debian package. I've been meaning to do this for a while. I had then decided to wait for a new release before working on the Debian package, but it is now almost one year old. However, some even older alternatives are in the archive - see camserv as an example, whose last release was done in 2002.

Yes, sorry, I wasn't thinking. However I still believe you should use
the field.

Public Domain = no copyright, no license.
Which needs to be mentioned in debian/copyright.
