RFS:openpref

[tangke]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "openpref".

* Package name: openpref
  Version : 0.1.3-1+nmu1
  Upstream Author :
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpref/
* License : GPLV3
  Section : games

It builds these binary packages:
openpref   - OpenPref is open source game

The package appears to be lintian clean.

My motivation for maintaining this package is: porting some package to 
debian.


The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openpref
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable 
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openpref/openpref_0.1.3-1+nmu1.dsc


I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 tangke

I did not look at the package, but let me start by pointing out that
this description is essentially useless.

First, no need to mention that it's open source. All software in Debian
conforms to Debian notion of open-source, so it's redundant.

It's also preferable not to repeat the package name in the short
description.

And, most importantly, what kind of game? Try to briefly describe the
game so that users have at least a basic idea.

There is a games team, you might find a sponsor there more easily.

Yeah, maybe we should drop that.  I think what I was intending is already
covered by "checks that many people disagree with."  wild-guess certainty
doesn't make checks pendantic, only downgrades them to info.

That was actually most of the point of pedantic.  Minor possible bugs that
aren't stylistic belong in info instead.  That's why both of them are
suppressed by default.

OK. Nice. Please keep them there. We can just treat them as pedantic and
not recommend them by default.

(I actually like them there).

Why is this listed as a Non-Maintainer Upload (NMU) when you are the
maintainer of the package?

I strongly suggest you read the maint-guide, developers-reference and
debian-policy before proceeding.

Yeah, it's worth remembering that part of the history of pedantic was to
add a new classification for tags that I, as a Lintian maintainer, was not
willing to always fix even in my *own* packages.  We had a lot of demand
in bug reports for adding some additional checks, often repeated requests
for the same checks, so I didn't want to drop them entirely, but I also
didn't want to bother people with them who weren't explicitly asking for
them.

There are a few pedantic tags that I routinely ignore, usually because I
can't easily do anything about them (like no-upstream-changelog).
