Bug#1074554: RFS: simple-scan/46.0-1 -- Simple Scanning Utility
Hi, Le 01/07/2024 à 02:36, Phil Wyett a écrit : Hi Jörg, Preamble... Thanks for taking time to create this package and your contribution to Debian. The below review is for assistance. It is offered to help submitters of packages to Debian mentors improve their packages prior to possible sponsorship into Debian. There is no obligation on behalf of the subitter to make any alterations based upon information provided in the review. Review... 1. Build: Good 2. Lintian: Issue I: simple-scan: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share 4772kB 90% N: N: The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data N: (over 4MB, or over 2MB and more than 50% of the package) in /usr/share but N: is an architecture-dependent package. This is wasteful of mirror space and N: bandwidth since it means distributing multiple copies of this data, one N: for each architecture. N: N: If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, this is a N: Policy violation that should be fixed by moving the data elsewhere N: (usually /usr/lib). N: N: Please refer to Section 6.7.5 of the Debian Developer's Reference for N: details. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: huge-usr-share Something to possibly investigate at a later date for action/upload. 3. Licenses: Good 4. Build Twice (sudo pbuilder build --twice .dsc): Good 5. Reproducible builds (reporotest)[1]: Good 6. Install (No previous installs): Good 7. Upgrade (Over previous installs if any): Good Summary... I believe simple-scan is ready for sponsorship/upload. Could a Debian Developer (DD) with available free time, please review this package and upload if you feel it is ready. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/Howto#Newer_method And also thanks for the work on simple-scan. In addition to the review made by Phil, I have some points: - the changelog should mention this upload closes Bug #1064939 - quite some copyright holders are missing in d/copyright - while you are at it, raise the Standards version to latest one - although not mandatory for my sponsorship, it would be great if the package was hosted in Salsa (the repo exists! The last commit there was 5 years ago, pointing Vcs-* fields to this repo). Regards Phil Thanks again, -- Pierre OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Bug#1074498: RFS: baby/1.0-2 [ITP] -- Abbreviate long commands in terminal
Hello Daniel, After a thorough review of the problems in my package, I have been able to resolve them and the build turns out fine I think that time is the most valuable thing we have in life, but I ask you to give me a second chance and come check my package: https://mentors.debian.net/package/baby/ Dear greetings, Manuel Guerra El sáb, 29 jun 2024 a las 19:41, Daniel Gröber () escribió: > Hi Manuel, > > On Sat, Jun 29, 2024 at 08:23:14PM -0300, Manuel Guerra wrote: > > I completely understand what you are saying about the program not being > > very useful for Debian, it has few functions but I hope to expand it > later. > > I'd recommend incubating your idea in the wider FLOSS community (which I > admit can be hard to get a foot into). > > Distributions are only really interested in programs once they've reached a > level of usefulnes you can usually only get to by either having lots of > experience already or getting feedback from others. > > However Debian unstable is not the right place to gather this early stage > feedback for something like this.

Bug#1073027: RFS: parlatype/4.2-1 -- Minimal audio player for manual speech transcription
Hi Phil,
thank you for your review! I saw it quite late, because I thought I was
automatically subscribed to this bug.
As for your comment at "1. Build", I intentionally didn't use these
substitution variables because in
/usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/README.Debian.gz at "3. Runtime
dependencies" it says:
* Add ${gir:Depends} to -dev packages if they contain GIR XML
* Add ${gir:Provides} to -dev packages if they contain GIR XML
And there is no GIR XML in this -dev package.
Regards
Gabor
