As Paul says, build profiles will not help here if you have to do this _every time_ you build the package, as opposed to doing it once, then using that to build the real package the first time in order to get it ready for the archive. i.e. build profiles are for bootstrapping, and the results do not end up in the archive. The normal way to fix this in Debian is for the debian build to run the build twice, using the components built on the first run for the second run. Can you do this easily, or do they have to be installed in system paths to work? You can also have the debian build run the build twice, one producing pkg-A and one producing pkg-B, so that both end up in the archive. Binutils is an example of a package that does this (building both native and cross versions).

When I try to visit "https://salsa.debian.org/werdahias/neo";, I get a not found error. It looks like the correct URL is "https://salsa.debian.org/werdahias/neo-cli";. You should update those two fields so they are correct. After that's fixed, I'd say the package would be in good shape for an upload. There's still some linitian messages that could be addressed, but they aren't highlighting anything too terrible. (You could probably fix them pretty easily and submit a patch/pull request to the upstream developer.) > Regarding cmatrix: neo supports half-japananese characters/unicode, "appearing" text like in The Matrix and 32 bit color support in addition. Thanks for that explanation. That's a good example of additional information you could put in the package's extended description as potential users would find it useful. Also, it's a good idea to always CC the bug address in your replies, especially when they are ITP/RFS bugs. Doing so allows others who might be watching the bug to stay up to date with any work that's being done on it. Mathias signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#982145: RFS: fuzzel/1.5.1-1 [ITP] -- Application launcher for wlroots based Wayland compositors
Dear Sway team, Would anyone be willing to sponsor the initial upload of fuzzel? I am a Debian Maintainer and would maintain the package myself thereafter.

Bug#1018148: RFS: neo-cli/0.6.1-1 [ITP] -- digital rain simulator
I fixed the VCS fields in d/control and amended the extended description. The lintinan info about the manpage was already reported upstream by me. I think it should be good now. Thanks for taking the time to review/sponsor it. --- Matthias Geiger (werdahias)
