Hi Pádraig, I might be able to sponsor this, but I have some concerns below.

The changelog entry for 2.22-2 disappeared, add it back in. Not required, but the use of the many install commands in the rules file should, in my opinion, be made more understandable by using debhelper's dh_install command and a separate fslint.install file. Also not required, but the use of perl to set the location of the installed files in the fslint-gui program should be replaced by a patch, using quilt (preferably) or dpatch, so that it is more clear exactly what is being changed from upstream. Other than these minor problems, it looked good. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wrong - all the sponsor has to do is use '-v2.25-0 -sa'. dpkg-genchanges collates all Closes: entries in whichever versions the maintainer chooses to include by using the -v option. All bugs listed in the .changes file will be closed by that upload. '-sa' might not be essential in this specific case but as the other changes will need a new upload to mentors, the actual version will be 2.26-2 and then '-sa' will be needed. http://people.debian.org/~codehelp/#increment (And don't blame me if Adblock Plus breaks the page - use a sane ad blocker, like the one in epiphany-browser.) > Not required, but the use of the many install commands in the rules > file should, in my opinion, be made more understandable by using > debhelper's dh_install command and a separate fslint.install file. dh_install is preferred because if anyone needs to customise the build using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, dh_install will use those options, install will not. This means that a customised build has to patch debian/rules instead of just setting an environment variable. -- Neil Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'll fix those up in fslint-2.28 (comming soon). thanks, Pádraig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FWIW though, you have to explicitly specify a version that actually exists in the changelog or you get a .changes file that lists ALL the changelog entries (and closes all bugs ever listed). It's probably a bug in dpkg-dev that it behaves this way, given what the manpage says. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

True - I was expecting 2.25-0 to be before the first changelog entry. Adapt the command as necessary. > It's probably a bug in dpkg-dev that it behaves this way, > given what the manpage says. Not sure, because you do need to specify a version *prior* to the first one you want listed so if there are no other changelog entries, you do need to specify a -0 or whatever. -- Neil Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

One other minor thing I noticed is that you upload an identical manpage for fslint as for fslint-gui. While it's great that you have a manpage for fslint (I think all packages should do this), you should use a symlink to the fslint-gui manpage instead of shipping the unnecessary file. Debhelper's dh_link can help you there. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A few comments: - Standards-Version are a bit old 3.8.0, while 3.8.2 is the current one, please check that in furter uploads. - Concerning bugs: * #511805, should have been answered and closed. findutils is an essential package, there is no need to declare essential packages as dependecies, you added the dependency, and the bug will be closed in this upload, there is no harm in this but it's not the best solution. * You closed a few debian bugs in a version that never hit Debian repositories, that requires some manual tweaking to process the correct part of the changelog, please avoid it. * You package version is 2.40-2, which would not include the original source in the upload, and requires some manual tweaking to do so, please avoid that. - You need to keep in contact with your mentors, that will accelerate your uploads, once you gain their trust you might prefer to advocate as a debian maintainer, so you can upload your own packages, it might be educational to have a new mentor in every upload, but it's quite inefficient (you are encouraged to ask for help, though).

Just to clarify, I personally find debian/changelog entries of versions that never hit debian repositories (which are the cause for the previous two points) useless, an error prone situation and bothering for the users. -- "La duración de un minuto depende de que lado del baño estés." -- Ley de la Relatividad (Burke) Saludos /\/\ /\ >< `/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
