Re: RFS: hex-a-hop (updated package)
Hi, I'm taking a look at it, and see that Sam is in the Uploaders. Should I upload the package (if it's good), or does he normally do that?

Re: RFS: hex-a-hop (updated package)
Hello again, I have some questions before uploading the package: - You have specified Priority: extra. According to policy, This contains all packages that conflict with others with required, important, standard or optional priorities, or are only likely to be useful if you already know what they are or have specialized requirements. I would expect this to be optional. Is there a reason that it isn't? - debian/copyright is almost complete. It says: On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'., which isn't very clear about the version. I suggest you use something like what was suggested on the games list by Eddy. It also says The Debian packaging is (C) 2007, Miriam Ruiz [EMAIL PROTECTED] and is licensed under the GPL, see above.. You may want to add your name to that (AFAIK you did significant parts as well). And this is a GPL without version claim, which according to the GPL means any version is acceptable. I think this is not what is intended. Also, it is said that (C) has no legal meaning, you should use the word copyright instead. I don't think any judge would consider this unclear, but better safe than sorry. :-) - The manual page mentions the license. This is not required, but if you do it, it would be good to point to /usr/share/common-licenses for the complete text. - Lintian gives a list of warnings for the translated manpages. They're not compressed with gzip -9, and some of them have errors. These should be fixed. For the compression, you should add -9 to the gzip command in debian/i18n/Makefile. I didn't look at the other problems, but lintian -i gives some hints. On Mon, Sep 10, 2007 at 01:15:04AM +0200, Jens Seidel wrote: The package appears to be lintian clean.
