Please hold back new upstream releases from unstable until after the freeze and target experimental instead. This would be a small step at speeding up the wheezy release. If you change an older changelog entry (1.2.10~pre3-2) please explain why in the current changelog entry. > * Split libgringotts from gringotts source package again.

It is nice to see machine readability get more adoption. However in this case human readability seems to have suffered. Your license paragraphs are very short. Specifically they mention "GPL-2+" which suggests the "or any later version" which is not included in your license paragraph. Please either drop the "+" or include the "or any later version" for consistency. Indeed without "or any later version" the (binary) package is not redistributable, because GPL-2 and GPL-3 are incompatible[1]. This is why I tagged the bug moreinfo. Please remove the tag after fixing this issue. > * debian/rules: rewrite to get rid of unnecessary dependencies and add > some hardening flags. This sounds confusing given that you actually disabled hardening: gringotts-1.2.10/debian/rules: | # Errors compiling with hardening | #CFLAGS:=$(shell dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) What is the problem with hardening? Maybe it can be resolved? Please clean up the following patch. It contains more TODO-ish stuff. gringotts-1.2.10/debian/patches/fix-mkinstalldirs-old-gettext.patch: | Description: | TODO: Put a short summary on the line above and replace this paragraph | with a longer explanation of this change.

Once the above problems are fixed, please rebuild documentation from

Upstream provides a test suite (samples/selftest.c). Please run it at
build time.
Wouldn't it make more sense to set Homepage field to

License text in machine-readable copyright file should be indented by
exactly one space. (More that one is not syntactically wrong, but it's
likely not what you meant; see Policy §5.6.13 for details.)
"License: GPL-1+ or any OSI-approved license" is not syntactically valid
in DEP-5 copyright files, as license names cannot contains spaces.
The upstream's "license conditions" leaves a lot to be desired... They
wrote:
License Conditions: You can use a verbatim copy (including this
copyright notice) of sglib freely in any project, commercial or not.
You can also use derivative forms freely under terms of Open Source
Software license or under terms of GNU Public License.
What does "use" mean? For example, Does it include (re-)distributing the
software?
Is "GNU Public License" supposed to mean "GNU General Public License"?
What does "Open Source Software license" mean?
Texts of none of the mentioned licenses are included in the tarball, so
how do I know which rights have been granted and on what conditions?
If you need to use a derivative form in a commercial project, or you
need sglib under any other license conditions, contact the author.
Does it mean that I can't "use" the software under the licenses
mentioned above in "commercial" projects without contacting the author?
(I'm purposefully ignoring what upstream wrote on the homepage; it's not
particularly unambiguous either.)

* Paul Gevers , 2013-01-06, 15:21: you bump the Standards-Version but do not mention which (if any) changes were needed for that. In 99% cases, there are no changes needed, 93% of all statistics are made up. so it's pointless to spam the changelog, and if some changes did indeed occur, they are not really related to the policy itself (merely required by it). Noting policy bumps had some miniscule reason before lintian started shouting, but nowadays, it is NOT bumping that could be notable. Yes, normally no changes are needed. But people that we sponsor need to know that they have to CHECK if they can update the standard. They can express this knowledge by writing in the changelog that they did not need to make any changes. So I am in favor of having this in the changelog. ACK. Whenever I see: | * Bump Standards-Version to 3.4.5. I read it as: | * Bump Standards-Version to 3.4.5, because Lintian yelled at me; |but actually I have no idea what I'm doing. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#667904: RFS: mitlm/0.4-1 [ITP] -- MIT Language Modeling toolkit
Does debian/patches/compilation_fixes really fix only "compilation on Debian systems"? I see several problems with the __fls function: - You can't use "__" in your own identifiers; such names are reserved. - The implementation uses x86 assembly. - The unsigned long -> int typecast looks redundant to me.
